J&F wine originates from the lowest vineyards, where the growing of bordolese vines is easier thanks to the higher percentage of humidity and the thermal gap between day and night.
This wine is made of two different wineyards, Merlot and Cabernet.
Merlot, harvested mainly at the beginning of September, is immediately processed and put into controlled temperature, stainless steel barrels, in order to give it the right features, tipical of this territory.
Cabernet, otherwise, is harvested at the end of September; before the wine making process begins, grapes are cooled down in order to guarantee the freshness and the pleasantness of this grape variety cultivated in our territory.
The wine making process is based on an 5-6 days alcoholic fermentation and a 10 days maturation with the skins.
After the raking, the two wines are assembled and put inside barriques where the wine begins an ageing process that lasts for a 11 to 14 months period, depending on the harvest.
J&F ages in bottle for about 8 months befor being put on the market.
