Barbera Piemonte DOC 2020

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!
