Description
What kind of wine it is
Attems Pinot Grigio is a still white wine with a Denomination of Controlled Origin, an authentic expression of Friuli, produced with ageing on fine lees and partial fermentation in barrels. This Pinot Grigio offers a sensory experience defined by refined minerality and a soft, velvety structure. On the nose, it opens with a broad and delicate bouquet, featuring notes of apple, pear and white plum, intertwined with hints of linden blossom and a subtle touch of vanilla. The palate is supported by lively citrus acidity that balances the wine’s texture, finishing with a clean aftertaste and pleasant hints of hazelnut and thyme.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown on the picturesque terraced slopes to the west of Gorizia, in the Capriva del Friuli area. The vineyards stretch across hills that allow for meticulous vine management, benefiting from an optimal temperature range between day and night. The soils are rich in pebbles, alternating between sandstones of Eocene origin and deeper, clay-rich areas, which provide a constant natural water reserve. This microclimate encourages balanced aromatic ripening, enhancing the mineral component and the freshness typical of the region.
How it is produced
Production begins with a gentle pressing of the freshly harvested Pinot Grigio grapes. The must ferments at low temperatures, mainly in stainless steel tanks and, for a small part, in wooden barrels. The decision not to carry out malolactic fermentation preserves the freshness and citrus intensity of the fruit. The process is completed with careful ageing on fine lees, which are regularly stirred to enrich the wine’s breadth and aromatic complexity, while ensuring a smooth and pleasant drinkability.
History and Curiosities
The Pinot Grigio by Attems boasts an ancient winemaking tradition documented as far back as 1764, today enriched by collaboration with the Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi family. This elegant wine is born in the sunny terraced vineyards located west of Gorizia, where the precious Eocene marl and sandstone impart a distinct and refined minerality. Thanks to a meticulous early harvest in August 2025, the perfectly intact grapes offer the palate the most authentic and vibrant expression of the Collio DOC terroir.

A thousand-year-old tradition that has made this winery a point of reference in the territory and that has seen Count Douglas Attems as its protagonist: he is credited with founding, in 1964, the Consorzio dei Vini del Collio, the third largest in Italy and the first in Friuli.
The history of Attems is thus intertwined with the history of Friuli Venezia Giulia itself: from the Patriarchate of Aquileia to the County of Gorizia, from the First World War to the present day.
Since 2000, Attems has been owned by the Frescobaldi family, which has preserved its historical value intact, giving it a future of innovation. Read more
