La Raia Winery is located in the Gavi DOCG region of Piedmont, Italy. It is celebrated for its commitment to biodynamic viticulture and its immersive relationship to classical and modern arts. The estate spans over 180 hectares, with approximately 48 hectares devoted to vineyards. The remaining land is a mix of pastures, woodlands, and rolling hills, underscoring the estate’s interest in maintaining environmental balance and biodiversity.
The winery was established in 2002 by the Rossi Cairo family, who were drawn to the potential of the Gavi region and inspired by the principles of Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic philosophy. The family sought to create a sustainable and self-sufficient agricultural ecosystem, integrating winemaking with a broader vision of land stewardship. Their farming approach emphasizes the soil's health, the vines' natural vitality, and the surrounding environment.
