The Story
We all know simple things are the best. But an apparent simplicity often hides much attention, care, dedication and a long time to achieve the best.
From this qualitative bond and winemakers Duse Masin and Sordi’s hard work, Chardonnay 100% WHITECODE was created.
It was back in 2011 when, following replacement of old grape vines over 40 years old, which at the time had been planted using the “bellussera" method (an old method maintaining vines in low arches), we wanted to create a new life to our vineyards with a new system and machinery more adapted to current tendencies and preferences. We chose 3 grapes; Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio from the plains, and Recantina from the hills, however to create our first label, we concentrated on the first choice only, giving life to a wonderful 100% Chardonnay, produced with the long Charmat method (all of 6 months in airlock pressure tanks).
A unique flavor, which we are pleased to propose today as our pride and joy of the WHITECODE production.
The Territory
Montello, the Venetians' garden
Montello is part of the DOC classification and guarantee of origin area "Montello and Asolani hills" embracing a strip of terrain that stretches from Nervesa of the Battaglia till the beautiful Rocca of Asolo, passing through vineyards, cherry trees and Venetian villas. The grapevines have been cultivated for centuries in this area producing exceptional wines. In fact towards the end of 1500, the historian Bonifacio in his "Historia Trevigiana" writes that "the vineyards produce delicious wines, the best of which is in the hills of Montello". The grape growers in this area, wisely taking advantage of the favorable climatic exposition and clay rich nature of the terrain, abundant in iron and important mineral components, have been transmitting for generations the profound bond with territory and tradition, creating memorable wines.
