At La Raia, the land is about 400 metres above sea level, with perfect exposure and the vineyards arranged in a crown around the winery. In the countryside, the principles of biodynamic agriculture reign and the vines are cultivated without the use of chemical products. This is how the Cortese used for the production of this Gavi DOCG is born. Healthy grapes with a good sugar level and correct acidity. Harvested by hand and softly pressed. The must obtained, after natural decantation, is fermented in stainless steel tanks. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the indigenous yeasts for about 3/4 months before being cold stabilised and finally bottled in March. Straw yellow, with slightly greenish reflections, the nose has an evident mineral scent of particular finesse, with aromas of fruit and white flowers. In the mouth it is lively, balanced, with a good acidity that amplifies the persistence and favours drinkability. The finish, as is typical for the type, is slightly almondy. Excellent as an aperitif, it accompanies hors d'oeuvres and first courses with fish sauce or vegetables. It is perfect with main courses of fish or white meats, but also with fresh and short-aged cheeses.
La Raia is a Demeter-certified biodynamic farm. It is located in the heart of the Piedmont hills of Gavi, in an area with a very ancient winemaking tradition thanks to a unique microclimate, influenced by the proximity of the sea. Some of Piedmont's most interesting white wines are produced here, as well as excellent traditional reds. La Raia covers over 180 hectares, 48 of which are planted with vineyards, with pastures and woods of chestnut, acacia and elder trees that are home to numerous species of wildlife. The estate is owned by the Rossi Cairo family, who bought it in 2003 with the intention of recovering and enhancing the original ecosystem through a wide-ranging intervention project inspired by biodynamic principles. Between the rows of vines, therefore, extensive use is made of green manure, dynamized horn manure and manure for fertilisation. Deep ventilation, no pesticides and moderate quantities of copper and sulphur from quarries, sprayed only at certain times of the year. The richness and variety of the vegetation found on the estate make La Raia a true oasis of biodiversity for bees and other pollinating insects, from which (among other things) excellent organic honey is obtained. Welcome nature!
