Within the 1980s, the year 1982 was of particular significance.
In that year, Stefano and Simone Nera decided to establish the Caven Camuna Winery. The name of this winery, "Caven", has since ancient times referred to an area located in the municipality of Teglio (SO), where the vineyards are currently situated. “Camuna”, on the other hand, obviously refers to the Camuna civilisation, of which important archaeological finds have been unearthed, consisting mainly of engravings (also known as petroglyphs) on various rocks (stelae), some of which are currently preserved and on display at Palazzo Besta in Teglio (SO).
The Caven site is of great archaeological importance, given that the Camuna people inhabited Valcamonica for millennia (from the Neolithic to the Iron Age), developing metalworking and adopting the wheel and the plough.
