La Querce

The La Querce winery is located in Impruneta in the heart of the Chianti Colli Fiorentini. It has a total extension of 42 hectares where vineyards and olive groves are cultivated, organizing the work between tradition and innovation, so as to achieve the best balance between soil and plant in order to have superior quality products. Since 2019 we have obtained the organic certification of all our products. 

Wine and Extra Virgin Olive Oil had been produced for hundreds of years but only in 1960 when Gino Marchi bought the company did they begin to bottle them. Gino Marchi restructured the vineyards and cellars, then from 1980 his son Massimo Marchi continued the work to find the best quality, he called Marco Ferretti to manage the winery since 1985 both in the technical and commercial part.

Marco lives in the winery and dedicates himself completely to producing pleasant wines and an excellent extra virgin olive oil

In our seven-hectare vineyard, four grape varieties are grown organically: Sangiovese, Canaiolo Colorino and Merlot. From these grapes we produce a fine rosé wine with Sangiovese called Rosa di Maggio and several red wines.

The most classic wines are the Chianti Colli Fiorentini Sorrettole, produced with all four grapes of the vineyard, fresh and fruity, but also the Chianti Colli Fiorentini Riserva La Torretta, a structured wine aged in large wooden barrels.

We also produce a wine from Canaiolo grapes only, Belrosso, a very youthful and fruity wine.

A special wine is the Terra diVino, a Sangiovese fermented and aged in terracotta amphorae from Impruneta built with the same clay that is in our vineyard.

The two crus are the Sangiovese La Querce, an elegant and fine wine, and the Merlot M, dedicated to Massimo Marchi who has won many international awards.

A sweet wine could not be missed, with the dried Canaiolo grapes a very special passito wine Dama Rosa is produced.

The other great product is our extra virgin olive oil La Querce produced with a mixture of olives of different varieties mainly Frantoio Morellino and Leccino but also many others to a lesser extent. The olives harvested during the day are then transported to the mill in the evening to be ground to extract our organic oil.
