La Piana

La Piana organic farm is located on the island of Capraia, inside the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. The area to which it belongs, called Il Piano S. Stefano, is a magical and pristine place where aromas, sounds, traditions and colors blend with ancient flavors and knowledge, where time seems to stand still. It can be reached within walking distance from the village, taking the local road with a traffic light, a journey of 20 minutes.

Here lived in different eras: Romans, anachorites, and Saracens with their raids, due to to the generosity of these soils, the only flat soils of the island, able to provide everything necessary for their own subsistence. In the last century, the area was leased out to the penal colony and the prisoners worked this land until the disposal of the prison.

In 2000, when the Mediterranean maquis threatened to overwhelm everything, a careful and difficult environmental restoration of the area began, that reported these places to their original splendor, giving back to our eyes an ancient territory of outstanding beauty. The landscape, guarded by the presence of the farm labor, designed by the discontinuity of the rows of vines in the Mediterranean maquis, terraces, stone walls, ancient cisterns, native and ornamental species such as oleander, rosemary, old rose. A perfect integration among agriculture of quality, environmental protection and historical memory.
