The Sottomonte Estate is located in Buttrio, 12 km south of Udine, in the district of the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC, a hilly environment with a strong winemaking vocation.
The estate covers 110 hectares almost entirely cultivated with vineyards and has been belonging to our family for over 500 years. In the ancient documents preserved in our archives there are numerous historical records such as that with which, in 1140, ten colonies of Buttrio were given as dowry to a convent of Benedictine monks so that they could obtain oil and wines: the Sottomonte Estate, until a few years ago had still ten colonies. Of particular interest is the seventeenth–century Family Palace, newly renovated and now house of a hotel and restaurant: Palazzo d’Attimis Maniago with its stables.
A particular source of pride is the exclusive use of grapes grown with their own vineyards, 70% consist of vines born in the fields of clonal selection of the Estate.
Therefore, vineyards are perfectly set and wines are really typical. A "great" wine, for that matter, comes with no doubt from a "great" vineyard.
Recently we have expanded our wines with the "Casali Maniago" line.
