Translating as ‘small cellar’ in the local dialect, Canevel is a very hands-on operation based in the historic heart of Prosecco. Wine merchant Mario Caramel and oenologist Roberto De Lucchi founded the company in a small workshop below the church of Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene in 1979.

The mission was clear: to produce sparkling wine of excellence that would showcase the qualities of the Glera grape and the fine terroir the estate had begun to accumulate.

Canavel was partially acquired by the Masi group in 2016. Expert production, including precise yeast strain selection, the use of small, pressurised fermenters and long and slow fermentations mean these wines often stand above their peers. Today the Canevel estate extends over 26 hectares, and the fruit from these sites joins that of a select group of producers to make the Casa Canevel wines, while the range is supported at the top end by some superb single site wines.
