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.
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.
