The goal Gino Marchi set himself when he purchased the La Querce farm in the 1960s was to produce high-quality products. Over time, we have sought to find the best balance between soil, plants, and people—the "terroir"—to produce excellent wines and a superb extra virgin olive oil.
Even today, every step toward improvement is a choice Massimo Marchi makes together with his family and the entire staff, coordinated by Marco Ferretti, the farm's director.
