Five hectares at the service of our kitchens

The Vaiani Farm is located in San Quirico di Moriano, immersed in the extraordinary scenery of the hills surrounding Lucca. Siamo nel “Morianese”, la fascia di terra pianeggiante e in parte collinare che si estende lungo la riva destra del fiume Serchio; la presenza diffusa di tanti corsi d’acqua e un clima temperato umido, rendono i terreni particolarmente fertili favorendo il fiorire di un’agricoltura qualificata.

Piero knew all this well, because this was his land, these his roots, this his farm: the son of farmers he always recognized the quality and potentials of a soil clod in his hands, a rich and severe soil, but generous with those who love her.

The farm

La nostra azienda Agricola, gestita dallo “chef des champ” Andrea Simonetti, comprende two hectares of olive groves with 800 plants (Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo) and three hectares which provide vegetable, fruits, olive oil, aromatic herbs and eggs to the kitchens of all our restaurants.
Tutti i nostri menu nascono dalla collaborazione e coordinamento che l’executive Chef Andrea Mattei created between the restaurants and farmers of the Vaiani Farm in order to always use the the highest quality products, not only in season, but above all of the day, creating a connection with the kitchens strongly rooted to the earth and its sustainable cycles. Sustainability is in fact a concept particularly valued for us: on the farm we recycle the organic part of the waste from our restaurants with a composting system that returns to feed our land thanking her for her kindness.

Fattoria Vaiani is part of an important project developed by the Department of Agricultural, Food and Agro-environmental Sciences of the University of Pisa for the safeguard of the rural world and its culture.
The researchers of the Pisa university together with Andrea Simonetti, Chef des Champs of the farm, and the chef Andrea Mattei intend to research, preserve and spread the cultivation and culture of the seeds of ancient vegetables, fruits and cereals that used to be widespread in our territory, supporting the recovery of biodiversity in crop systems.
Questi prodotti entreranno nelle cucine dei ristoranti del gruppo Vaiani&Vaiani che sotto la direzione dell’executive Chef Andrea Mattei vi accompagneranno in un viaggio alla riscoperta degli antichi sapori propri della tradizione contadina del nostro territorio.

Il Podere Piero

Welcome to Piero’s farmhouse, a finely restored typically Tuscan farmhouse where we invite you to explore the well-tended gardens and olive groves ben curati, ammirare le colline circostanti e ad assistere all’armonico mutare delle stagioni immersi nella piscina incastonata nel paesaggio.
Un’armonia che si respira in ogni gesto, in ogni angolo, in ogni prodotto e nella cura e passione che anima chi protegge e custodisce il paesaggio di questo piccolo paradiso rurale, lontano dallo stress e dalla frenetica vita di tutti i giorni. I recenti lavori di ristrutturazione hanno portato il vecchio edificio a un livello di comfort contemporaneo che mantiene intatto il sapore dell’origine contadina and the spirit of its old walls and high ceilings with wooden beams and bricks.
