Carlo Negri
Carlo Negri was awarded the Ontario Wine Awards 2005 " Winemaker of the Year " and in the same year won the " Tony Aspler Cuvee Award of Excellence" for his commitment and passion.
Located in the Lake Erie North Shore region near Harrow, Ontario. Colio wineries opened its doors in 1980. They were recipients of the first winery license in the region since prohibition. The winery was originally founded by a group of Italian busness men in 1978. Perhaps one of the best decisions they made was to bring over winemaker Carlo Negri from Trentino Alto-Adige.
