The history of Attems in Friuli has ancient origins. Numerous historical testimonies fully document its presence in the territory, its network of commercial, social and political connections at the highest level and its profound interest in wine production.

1964 – Douglas Attems founds the Wine Consortium of Collio

Count Douglas Attems was following a remarkably ancient tradition when, in 1964, he founded the Consorzio dei Vini del Collio, which he guided as President until 1999. The winemaking principles that were the inspiration for that association still protect that growing area today, with limited yields ensuring the very highest quality of wine.
