Vento Forte Beers: Craft Excellence in Bracciano
In the heart of Bracciano, just steps from the picturesque lake that frames this charming village, Vento Forte Beers was born, a craft brewery that has stood out in the Italian scene since 2013 for quality and innovation. Founded by Andrea Dell’Olmo, a passionate homebrewer who discovered his love for IPAs during a trip to California in 2007, Vento Forte combines tradition and modernity, bringing a touch of Californian inspiration to Italian brewing art.
The brewery’s production is around 1,000 hectoliters annually, thanks to a 10-hectoliter system supported by a cellar with a 160-hectoliter capacity. This setup allows seriousness and flexibility, enabling Vento Forte to continuously experiment with different styles and hops, always ensuring a high and consistent quality.
Iconic Beers and Dedication to Quality
Among the most appreciated products is the West Coast IPA 'Follower', characterized by a dry and particularly refreshing profile, achieved through skillful use of Idaho 7, Citra, and Mosaic hops. This beer embodies Vento Forte’s philosophy: an intense but balanced beer, perfect for those who love strong yet refined flavors.
Another great success is 'June', an American IPA with a rich and complex aromatic bouquet ranging from pineapple to grapefruit, enriched with pleasant resinous pine notes. Every sip of June tells of meticulous raw material research and attention to detail.
The brewery also stands out for its obsessive care at every stage of the production process, with particular attention to maintaining the cold chain, preserving freshness and original taste until pouring, guaranteeing a consistently top-quality drinking experience.
This year, Vento Forte introduced a new line of canned packaging, a choice that combines practicality and modernity, thus expanding distribution and offering its beers in a convenient and versatile format.
For enthusiasts who want to immerse themselves in the reality of this microbrewery and discover its creations up close, it is possible to visit the headquarters at Via dei Quadri 18 in Bracciano. Here, the Vento Forte team warmly welcomes guests, offering exclusive tastings and passionately sharing the story and philosophy behind every beer produced.
Vento Forte Beers is a clear example of how personal passion, combined with a precise production vision and a unique territory like Bracciano, can bring to life craft beers that conquer discerning palates throughout Italy.
