Wassmann Pince

CARLO

2023

Ralf Wassmann and Susann Hanauer spontaneously bought a small old-fashioned winemaking property with grapes and peach trees in the southernmost region of Villány in 1998. Within two weeks of their first visit to Hungary, they packed up and moved from Germany (where Ralf was a winemaker) to Pécsdevecser, a once-Swabian settlement with German roots. They came to natural winemaking quite instinctively, wishing to make delicious, well-balanced wines with minimal intervention that respected the land on which they lived and worked. They were the first winery in Hungary to certify organic (2003) and the second to certify biodynamic (2011).

Carlo is a special edition white Cabernet Franc from Wassmann's biodynamic estate in Villány. Refreshingly green, with gooseberry and green apple on the nose and palate. Made from the free run juice of Cabernet Franc, with spontaneous fermentation in open tanks and 6 months of aging in used French barriques. Unfiltered and unfined, certified organic and biodynamic, low sulfur added.
