La Raia is a remarkable winery nestled in the stunning hills of the Gavi region in Piedmont, Italy. This estate is dedicated to producing high-quality organic wines, including three varieties of Gavi DOCG and two Barbera DOC wines. Spanning 180 hectares, the property features biodynamic vineyards, cereal crops, chestnut trees, and acacia woods. Additionally, part of the estate is devoted to breeding Fassone cows.
On 45 hectares of vineyards, owner Piero Rossi Cairo employs biodynamic practices to cultivate premium Cortese and Barbera grapes. These grapes are the foundation for two standout wines: Gavi DOCG Pisé and Gavi DOCG Riserva. To promote soil vitality and nourish the grapevines, grass is allowed to grow between the rows, enhancing biodiversity and sustainability.
The wine cellar at La Raia is notable for its striking architecture, featuring large crystal walls that showcase the fermentation vessels. Here, grapes undergo fermentation in spacious stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in a variety of wooden barrels. This meticulous process contributes to the unique character of each wine.
In addition to its exceptional wines, La Raia is home to impressive artworks by renowned artists such as Remo Salvadori, Michael Beutler, Adrien Missika, and Koo Jeong. The winery also hosts events that celebrate the rich historical landscapes of the Gavi region, making it a cultural hub for wine lovers and art enthusiasts alike.

Interesting visit to a reality characterized by its strong biodynamic orientation. In addition to the classic tour, we have a light lunch accompanied by the tasting of 6 wines for €45. Friendly and helpful guide.

A Sunday in November, wonderful weather and a very kind and cultured lady welcomes us to explain the philosophy of the company, the importance of the contemporary works of art present in the estate and the care of the certified biodynamic wine. He then takes us on a tasting that was a precious moment of discovery of aromas, tastes and wine culture. Finally, a walk through the estate which is a place of art and nature in which to immerse yourself and which is pure poetry. I can't wait to go back...
