GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINES 

WHITES 
They are in line with other Penedès whites, young, fruity and the result of modern technologies, both those using native varieties and those based on chardonnay. Those from Picapoll offer freshness, fruitiness and good acidity.
 
ROSÉS 
Mostly made with merlot and cabernet sauvignon, they have a pinkish-raspberry color, are clean and fruity on the nose and with a good fruity expression of the grapes from which they come.
 
RED WINE 
Cherry-garnet in color, fresh, with a pronounced character of the grapes that serve as a base. The good varietal character of those made with Cabernet Sauvignon should be highlighted.
