The small family-run company, founded in 1950, is located producing and collecting its fruits in the eastern part of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the renowned DOC Friuli Isonzo. They cultivate the 5 hectares of vineyards with organic farming methods.
The basic concept that drives the company is that of research and production of wines with a distinct personality, recognizable and mature. To achieve this they use the most advanced techniques, but in the absolute respect of nature and tradition to obtain grapes that allow them to produce wines .
In the vineyard, thought is very simple and straightforward. They look for the minimum environmental impact in the cultivation of plants and for this reason all the vineyards are totally grassed with herbs that develop spontaneously.
The company is in the process of conversion to organic farming; consequently, treatments with synthetic chemicals are banned, they use only copper and sulfur for the control of vine and grape diseases and fertilizers of organic and animal origin in order to find the highest quality and naturalness of the grapes.
Wines
Pinot Grigio
The color is a shiny copper, almost salmon that recalls the color of the pinot grigio grapes seen against the light. The fragrance is clearly distinguished delicate floral notes, yellow fruit, cherry and strawberry, candy. In the mouth it is fresh, young and with an acid and mineral vein that favors its drinkability, but at the same time enveloping sapid and glyceric and with strong references to fruit, even pomegranate.
Sauvignon
Straw-yellow white wine with evident green reflections, an exuberant aroma, reminiscent of yellow and white flowers, elderberry, mint, exotic and not fruit (grapefruit, pineapple, passion fruit, white peach, apricot and plum yellow). Fresh wine, immediate, with great freshness and acidity, but at the same time gustative length.
Sessanta
Very intense ruby red color, deep and impenetrable with violet reflections. It has a very rich and complex scent that manifests itself changing over time; first notes of red and black fruit (fresh and ripe), then explodes the sensations of spices and roasted coffee, liquorice and a light roasting, with a long aromatic persistence.

The company is located in Buttrio (UD), 100 km east of Venice and 90 km south of the border with Austria, in the ‘Fruili Colli Orientali’ d.o.c. district, precisely in a hilly area dedicated to the production of wine in which vineyards are the predominant feature of the landscape. The family estate extends across 110 hectares of vineyards. On 15th February 1585, the noble family d’Attimis-Maniago received the Buttrio company as dowry for a marriage. In the words of the current owner, Count Alberto: “Our relationship with the vine and the vineyard is a family union which has lasted over 400 years“.
The origin of the Attimis dynasty dates back to the patriarchy of Aquileia and, as attested by the imposing family archive, a significant production of wine began in the 1700s, even if there are many testimonies of wine being shipped to Italy and other foreign countries in earlier centuries.
“Traditional” is the word which best defines the varieties that some refer to ‘indigenous’, varieties which have been present in a certain geographical area for many centuries and have developed specific, peculiar features. To a certain extent, this definition also encompasses recently new vineyards, such as the Pinot Grigio or the Sauvignon, which have found the perfect environment to thrive in their hills.
The company has never allowed their business to follow the trends, because conforming to the masses has never been their style. The only principle they are inspired by is this: whether it’s the Cabernet or the Tazzelenghe, the wine must be good and well-constructed. It has to convey something – a memory or an emotion – because, in their opinion, belonging to the Friuli Colli Orientali denomination of origin means their wines have to be distinctive and connected to our land.
Wines
PINOT NERO
Deep ruby red colour. The aroma releases complex spicy fragrances (cinnamon and black pepper), coffee, and forest berry jam. The palate is treated to persistent sensations of spices and red currants. A full bodied, rich and balanced wine.
PIGNOLO
Intense ruby red colour with purple hues. The bouquet is expansive with notes of ripe red fruit, plum, fruits of the forest and mulberries, all elegantly enriched with a soft spiciness. The finish is almost balsamic with evident notes of eucalyptus and liquorice. It is powerful on the palate, extremely enveloping, balanced and soft. It has an excellent embellished finish and, as is a feature of this grape, a pleasant freshness and rich tannins that are lively but silky, guaranteeing a long lasting wine. Food and wine pairings: excellent with game and grilled red meat, or to accompany more elaborate dishes such as duck breast in bilberry sauce, medallions of venison with juniper and mature cheeses.
VIGNARICCO
After a long period of ageing, this wine takes on a brick red colour with “ruby red” hues. A fine, characteristic aroma of an aged wine with a balanced woody scent. The wine is especially striking for the warm and concentrated red fruit, sour cherry and hay fragrances it releases. The dry flavour suggests sweet liquorice and jam with a “goudron” and forest-like aftertaste that is both pleasant and persistent. A concentrated and powerful yet balanced wine with mature and well blended fragrances. An excellent wine to drink now and one that offers a promising future. Food and wine pairings: a great wine to accompany game dishes, roasted and braised meats, poultry and hard cheeses.

The land upon which they cultivate vines is one of the best in the world.
There are reliefs located 200m above sea level which geologically formed approximately 40-50 million years ago: the Friuli plain was invaded by the sea and the coastline almost reached the Julian Prealps. Throughout millennia, on the bottom of this ancient lagoon, a slow process of sedimentation began to take place which led to the creation of imposing formations which, as the sea retreated, emerged from the waters. These Eocene sediments today appear as an alternation of marl strata (calcareous clay) and sand strata (calcified sands) which has an instantly recognizable configuration known in this region as ponca. These lands are extraordinarily well-suited for viticulture thanks to their composition and location.
