How we started
At the confluence of main shipping routes in the Mediterranean, Malta is an ideal hub for trade, industry and commerce to prosper.
Decades ago, maltese progenitors recognised the huge potential Malta’s geography offered. Many pioneered their family businesses, plenty of which have stood the test of time and are today accomplished household names. The estate of Attard & Co. Ltd. belongs to this genre of legacy: the traditional maltese family business.
Firm Attard owes its existence to its founder and visionary Edoardo Pellegrini Petit, a solicitor by profession. The firm was established in 1921, originally as an insurance agency. Yet as early as 1924, Attard company ventured into merchandising of photo products in Malta, heralding the Gevaert label, years before it came to be known as Agfa.
Photography was not the only mainstay business for Firm Attard. Earlier activities comprised artists’ materials, surveying instruments and office-related commodities, the likes of photocopiers.
the wine business
Attard & Co’s Wines and Spirits Division was conceived with the vision of importing quality produce from every corner of the World to the Maltese Islands. We only select wines that truly embody the Culture, Tradition and History of their region of origin. We source out winemakers and distillers who have a great love and respect of their land and use traditional methods and individual passion to transform the earth’s fruits into fine wines and spirits for us to enjoy by the glass.

Completing the renovation of the vineyard land
The work in the vineyard does not stop during a calendar year. Every season has its works to be done, as we cherish our vines to obtain the best wines
possible.
Summer, a season that usually rimes with vacations, rest, slowing down, is for us a very intense period in the winery, and more specifically in the vineyards.
Indeed, it is the season when the grapes have to do their veraison (change of color from green to yellow/red).
