Description
What kind of wine it is
Attems Sauvignon Blanc is a still white wine produced by Attems, an authentic expression of Venezia Giulia. Made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes vinified in stainless steel, it reveals aromas of boxwood, tomato leaf and grapefruit zest. On the palate, it stands out for its slender body and pronounced acidity, which blends with a vibrant mineral savouriness. The sip culminates in a persistent finish characterised by floral and citrus notes of linden and lime.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow in Collio, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, on terraced slopes at 60 metres altitude west of Gorizia. The proximity to the Adriatic Sea and protection from cold winds create an ideal microclimate, where temperature variations enhance aromatic richness. The soils of Eocene sandstone, formed from ancient seabeds, alternate with deep alluvial soils rich in pebbles. This particular geological composition imparts a distinctive savoury character to the wine. The vineyards, trained using the Guyot system, ensure optimal ripening of the grapes.
How it is produced
The Sauvignon Blanc harvest is carried out by hand. In the winery, part of the crushed grapes undergoes cold maceration in the absence of oxygen to extract the aromatic potential. This is followed by gentle pressing and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out to preserve the natural freshness. The wine matures for four months in stainless steel on the fine lees, with frequent stirring to increase its volume on the palate, while maintaining a taut and vibrant flavour profile.
History and Curiosities
Attems Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is born in the heart of Collio, combining the prestige of the Frescobaldi marquises, masters of wine for over seven hundred years, with the historic expertise of the Attems family. This collaboration, which began in 2000, enhances a winemaking tradition once highly valued by European courts. The vineyards, cultivated since 2002 on an exceptional terroir composed of Eocene sandstones and ancient seabeds rich in pebbles, give this refined still white wine a vibrant and unmistakable territorial character.

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
