Only 2 km from Montalcino, at an altitude of 375 meters, we find the beautifully situated Casa Raia. The majority of the domain, which counts only 4.5 hectares, was planted in the late 1970s by Ludmilla Temertey, who handed over the baton to her daughter Kalyna and her husband Pierre Jean Monnoyer in 2006. Pierre Jean's motto is “il vino viene fatto in vigna” which roughly translated means that the vine determines how the wine becomes. The goal at Casa Raia is therefore to preserve the biodiversity and natural balance of the vineyards. The vineyards are dotted with a variety of organic plants and flowers that provide natural nutrients to the soil. The entire estate is therefore organically certified.
