Canevel was set up in 1979 as a result of the meeting of two different professional skills and one real passion. From the start, when Mario Caramel, a producer of vinegar and a wine merchant from Oderzo, and the wine-making expert Roberto De Lucchi founded the wine-making company in a small workshop below the church of Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene, the mission was clear : to produce a sparlkling wine of excellence that would exploit the qualities of the Glera grape.
