The biodynamic organic approach
At La Raia we believe that the quality of our produce results from the quality of the environment: nature yields its most vibrant and flavourful fruit when farmed using the biodynamic organic approach – dispensing with pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer
Throughout the agricultural year we guide our vines towards the production of quality grapes, brimming with intense and genuine flavour.
Our plants have an authentic relationship with the land and their roots capture the uniqueness of each site.
This careful management of the vineyards and the choice of having limited yields exalt the quality of our Cortese and Barbera grapes.
We cultivate legumes, cereals and fodder on our fields using crop rotation methods: the alternation of harvests allows the soil to enhance its fertility naturally.
We cherish our land and care for it with passion, dedication and hard work.
Our wines are certified organic by Ecocert and BIOSUISSE, the Swiss association of organizations for organic agriculture.
Since 2007, La Raia and its grapes are certified by DEMETER. This brand guarantees the fruits from biodynamic crops or livestock has been produced following biodynamic farming practises. In Italy there are less than 300 demeter farms, of which only about 20 are wineries. La Raia is one of these.
