Ribusieri incorportates innovative farming techniques into its production, integrating their own distinctive environmentally sustainable methods into the making of Sangiovese and Vermentino. The estate is located in the village of Montecucco, where the winemaking tradition has ancient roots.
Although its viticultural roots date back to the 8th Century, Montecucco only received its DOC in 1998. At that time there were only 10 registered producers, today there are 80.
Cinigiano where Ribusieri is located is in the heart of the Moncucco. The soil is arid, with a mix of sandstone and clay. The estate is nestled 180 meters above sea level on the southwest foothills of the ancient volcano, Mount Amiato in the Valley of the Orcia river. On the right bank of the Orcia lies its more famous cousin, Montalcino and on the no lesser left bank lies Ribusieri.

Fayolle Crozes-Hermitage Rouge Cuvee Nicolas is made from 100 percent Syrah.
Deep ruby red color. Nose of red and black currant fruits, pepper, spring flowers, new leather and mineral/earthy nuances. Medium bodied palate of red fruit and spice. Nice balance. Long finish and velvety.
Review:
"Boasting even more striking aromas of blueberries, violets and peppery spice than the La Rochette bottling, the 2018 Crozes-Hermitage La Cuvee Nicolas is almost Côte-Rôtie-like. Medium to full-bodied without seeming at all heavy, ripe without being overdone, silky and fine from start to finish, it's a real beauty and a testament to the potential of the commune of Gervans - a small granitic outpost within the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. - Joe Czerwinski"
