History

Giorgio Rossi Cairo bought La Raia in 2003 and converted it to biodynamics, gaining Demeter certification in 2007.

The estate restores a whole ecosystem, with a rammed-earth (pisé) cellar built in the Novi Ligure tradition, a Waldorf school and an organic grocery service.

It is now run by his son Piero Rossi Cairo.
