L'obiettivo che Gino Marchi si diede quando negli anni Sessanta acquistò l'azienda agricola La Querce era quello di fare dei prodotti di grande qualità. Nel tempo abbiamo cercato di trovare la migliore formula di equilibrio tra terreno, piante e uomini, il “terroir”, per produrre eccellenti vini ed un ottimo olio extra vergine d'oliva.
Ancora oggi ogni passo verso il miglioramento è una scelta che Massimo Marchi fa insieme alla famiglia e a tutto lo staff, coordinato da Marco Ferretti, direttore dell’azienda agricola.
