La Raia Gavi "Pleo" is produced at La Raia, a stunning biodynamic estate in Novi Ligure in the heart of the Gavi DOCG, imported by Rosenthal Wine Merchant (RWM). The estate farms its vineyards in the rolling hills on clay and limestone soils with full biodynamic certification, working with 100% Cortese — the native grape of Gavi — to produce wines of real mineral precision and freshness. "Pleo" is fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel to preserve the pure varietal character of the Cortese grape — its signature lemon brightness, almond finish, and clean mineral backbone. Estate visits describe La Raia as one of Piedmont's most beautiful wine properties, with a restaurant, hotel, and deep commitment to biodynamic farming at every level. An honest, food-driven white that delivers Gavi as it should be.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
