Gavi Riserva La Raia 2013

From the beautiful hills of Novi Ligure and from grapes harvested in the ripening, born the Gavi Riserva by La Raia; a white wine that has some complex ripe fruit, honey and candied fruit. The winery La Raia is a clear example of how technology and tradition can co-exist: innovation in cellar and biodynamics in the vineyard make this wine a pearl of La Raia, a clear example for the entire Piedmont. The real gem is the Pisè, a wall long 40 meters and high 5 constructed entirely of the "raw land", with the clay. A technique that makes the winery perfectly placed and perfectly balanced with the eco-system in which it is inserted. And this is the philosophy that follows La Raia in the production of wines: Gavi Riserva is the flagship of its production begins in the vineyard of the Madonnina, on vines that are over 60 years of age and who are not treated with fertilizers or substances chemical synthesis. The humus is given by sowing green manure (a mixture composed of broad bean, pea and clover) that, once shredded, it turns into fertilizer giving life, energy and resources to the ground. The use of products and winemaking techniques is limited as much as possible to preserve the character and authenticity of the Cortese grape. The Gavi Riserva by La Raia comes from grapes harvested in the ripening which give the wine a beautiful golden yellow color and exciting complex notes of ripe fruit, honey and candied fruit. A Gavi Riserva rich, dry, harmonious and fruity lingering finish that gives a nice and warm. A wine that will remain in your eyes and in your memories: Gavi Riserva by La Raia, one of the best Gavi that we have tasted.
