At a glance
Conte D’Attimis-Maniago is a historic family estate in Buttrio, in the wine-growing hills of northeastern Italy’s Friuli Venezia Giulia region. Located 100 kilometres east of Venice and 90 kilometres south of the Austrian border, the property encompasses 110 hectares of vineyards in a single holding. The estate represents one of Italy’s oldest continuous wine-producing families, with documented viniculture spanning more than three centuries.
History
The family’s connection to the Buttrio estate began on 15 February 1585, when the vineyard came to the counts of Attimis-Maniago as part of a marriage dowry. This union marked the beginning of what would become a multigenerational commitment to viticulture. The Attimis family traces its origins to the Patriarchate of Aquileia, establishing deep roots in the region’s ecclesiastical and aristocratic heritage.
Significant wine production dates to at least 1700, as evidenced by the family’s extensive archives. Historical records document substantial wine shipments throughout Italy and abroad in even earlier periods. The family began bottling wine under the Conte D’Attimis-Maniago label around 1930, adopting a pioneering approach to wine production in Friuli at a time when the practice was uncommon in the region.
