Andrea di Pec was the nephew of Frederico d'Attems who was Chancellor of Gorizia in 1540. Andrea was renowned as a great teacher of viticulture, passing on his knowledge to many winegrowers in the area. His estate was located on some of the most prestigious agricultural land in Friuli and his impact on the region was such that even though the property, over the centuries, was splintered and changed hands, the name remained. It is still used today by the present owners, the Collavini family, who have been involved with wine since 1896.

The vines are trained on double arched canes, providing the canopy with the optimum amount of sunlight and shade for the grapes to mature. The vineyard soils are made up of a combination of a red, clay soil which has a high iron content and gravel which provides the vine with good drainage.
