La Querce

La Querce estate is located at Impruneta in the heart of the Chianti Colli Fiorentini Area. In its 42 hectares of extension we grow vineyards and olive trees. It’s cultivated according to both tradition and innovation, limiting chemical interventions in order to reach the balance between soil and plants. As a result we obtain high quality products. At this moment we are in conversion to Organic method. The soil in our Chianti hills tend to be clayey, this allows to always having a water reserve at our disposal that plants can use in harsh moments. Most fields face south in a wide valley; this helps to obtain sun exposure and light breeze during the harvest. The 8 hectares of vineyards have all been planted both with traditional grapes of this area Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino, and with grapes Merlot. In the cellar the grapes are treated with much respect so as to produce natural wines and characterized from the territory. Of our land, 12 hectares are planted with olive trees (about 2600 plants) all traditionally cultivated. Most of the olive trees are aged over 100 years, in 1990 olive trees was planted about 500 plants. The varieties present are: Frantoio, Moraiolo, Leccino, Pendolino, Madonna dell'Impruneta, Americano and others in very small quantities. The commercial activity is mostly carried out directly with a great propensity abroad, but also with the collaboration of professionals to compare in all sectors from field production to processing and sales.
