Crafting of the Mas Picosa Blanc de Negres begins with the manual harvest of Garnatxa Tinta grapes at their optimal ripeness. The grapes are immediately pressed after harvest, extracting only the free-run juice, which is the purest and most delicate juice. This process minimizes skin contact, avoiding color extraction, resulting in a white wine made from red grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, preserving the fresh and fruity aromas characteristic of Garnatxa. The wine is left in contact with its lees for several months, adding complexity and a richer, creamier texture. The process is carried out without the use of animal products, ensuring the wine is vegan. In terms of its organoleptic characteristics, the Capçanes Mas Picosa Blanc de Negres presents a pale yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose, elegant and complex aromas of white fruits like apple and pear, along with citrus and floral notes, are perceived. On the palate, it is a balanced and fresh wine, with vibrant acidity and a long, persistent finish that leaves a mineral sensation. Pairing with the Mas Picosa Blanc de Negres is versatile and sophisticated. It is ideal for accompanying fish and seafood, such as oysters, clams, and grilled white fish, where its freshness enhances the sea flavors. It is also recommended with salads, seafood rice dishes, and Mediterranean cuisine. Its structure and acidity make it perfect for pairing with soft cheeses and light poultry, such as oven-baked chicken or roasted turkey. In summary, the Capçanes Mas Picosa Blanc de Negres from Celler Capçanes is a white wine made from Garnatxa Tinta, distinguished by its organic and vegan production within the DO Montsant.
