Cà del Vént (house of the wind) was established  in 1994, in order to make their own wine instead of delivering grapes to the local collective winery (where small farmers with no equipment bring/sell their grapes). In 1996, they 've got their first 5 barrels of red wine from autochthonous varieties, made just for personal consumption, but already made with great determination. The lack of specific and technical equipment was the reason of simple and rather crude operation: the pressing of the grapes was made by hand with  sleeves  and in the garage, fermentation and maceration occurred in stainless steel tanks borrowed by an old winemaker from the neighborhood,  aging happened in barrels in the cellar and bottling was made by “falling "with a small rubber tube. Likely due more to luck than actual ability, the first wine Clavis 1996 turned out to be amazing. A full-body wine, with tannin, very clean and with great longevity.

In the forthcoming years expectations were met, despite some problems with alcohol excess in 1997 and turbidity in 1998. In 2000 they felt ready to convert the garden and the basement of the house into an attempt of a real winemaking company, expand the vinification room and buy two small vineyards in the surrounding.

In 2001 they bought a small pneumatic press and vinified the first 2000 bottles of Franciacorta. In 2006, the property reached 6.5 hectares merging some neighboring vineyards and moving from an amateur to a small 6,5 hectars winery. Between 2006 and 2011 Flavio and Antonio studied the soils ending up with the detection of 11 micro-areas (cru / land unit).

2015 was a landmark year because they had their Franciacorta wines rejected by the tasting commission for the DOCG. They were said to be not suited to the appellation standard ( of taste.. formally they said they were "too rich and too complex"...). The DOCG was denied to 6 sparkling wines ( harvest 2008 and 2011 ) and later to the red wine Cellatica 2014. As a result, they decided therefore not to produce any wine labeled with the denomination ( although made according to an even stricter rulebook imposed by the appellation ).

With the last decades, finally, the Franciacorta "bubbles" exploit turned many farmers' mind toward the fine sparkling white wine instead of the red traditional Cellatica ( this is the only area where two different D.o.c. - Cellatica and Franciacorta - overlap) decreeing a slow oblivion of the Cellatica after the hilights of the past...

"So we walk alone and none of our wines needs to lean on any DOCG or DOC, it's just a Cà del Vént wine with its strong identity made by the soil and the season"
