The Museo della Civiltà del Vino di Buttrio, unique in its kind, offers an exhibition itinerary on the three floors of the west wing of Villa Florio in Buttrio where there are over 3500 pieces, including objects and documents, belonging to the great heritage donated by Geremia Nonini. We start from the history of vine cultivation and wine production since its origins to continue with a space dedicated to the characteristics of the wine, the care of the vineyard, the production of the wine and its conservation up to its distribution on the market; tools, utensils and work instruments are visible along the route of the various rooms.

The Villa di Toppo-Florio di Buttrio can be described as an elegant Venetian villa from the early eighteenth century and a bit like a rural manor house from the seventeenth century, surrounded by appurtenances and overlooking an extraordinary archaeo-botanical park. The villa was built on pre-existing rural buildings and underwent continuous expansions and modifications over the decades, until it took on more or less the shape we find today. During the Second World War the villa was occupied first by the Germans and then by American troops. At the end of the conflict the property was sold to the ONIG (National Opera for the War Invalids), which transformed it into the Friulian College for Mutilated Children.

The parco di Villa di Toppo-Florio is the only remaining archaeo-botanical park dating back to 1700 in northern Italy, created by the great Milanese architect Giuseppe Rho. Inside you can find: Roman archaeological finds coming from Aquileia, some of these in the form of caprices, which can also be found on the external walls of the villa and also in a special Lapidarium; contemporary art installations such as “APIS”, by Daniela Capaccioli, made up of giant bees flying over the park of Villa di Toppo-Florio, “Les secretes en equilibre”, by Christian Lapie, gigantic works born precisely from the transformation of the tree, Naturografie, by Roberto Ghezzi from 2022 in which the artist lets nature operate over time on canvases installed in the chosen places according to their aesthetic, physical, chemical and biological characteristics.

Conte d’Attimis-Maniago Winery. The Conte d’Attimis-Maniago company is in Buttrio, in the DOC Friuli Colli Orientali area, a hilly environment with a strong viticultural vocation in which the vineyard has always been the main element of the landscape. On these splendid slopes, framed by large wooded areas, the 110 hectares extend almost entirely under vineyards in a single corporate body. It was February 15, 1585 when, following a marriage, the company that today bears their name arrived as a dowry to the counts of Attimis-Maniago. No other winemaking property of similar size has remained in the hands of the same family for so long in the entire region. To date, the d’Attimis-Maniago family boasts 18 generations of winemakers. This is attested by the memories, kept in the family archive, which record production data (since 1510), land development and vineyard renewal works (1615), sale of bottles of Picolit (1765) and so on, up to our days. Today the company has obtained, first in Friuli Venezia Giulia, the recognition of “Historical Company”. The d’Attimis-Maniago family has always continued the search for the highest quality in the viticultural and oenological fields, which is expressed in the ever-increasing weight of native varieties among the bottles produced each year.
