La Raia produces Cortese-based whites from Gavi, in Piemonte's rolling hills. The region's cool climate and limestone-rich soils shape wines of mineral precision and aromatic clarity. The winery's core expression, Il Borgo Gavi, captures the varietal's signature white-flower and citrus character with clean acidity. Il Borgo Gavi Riserva Vigna Madonnina and Gavi Riserva represent deeper explorations of the same terroir, offering additional complexity and structure from extended aging. These wines have drawn attention from Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter. Cortese thrives in Gavi's conditions, yielding dry, food-friendly whites suited to the region's culinary traditions.
