Colio Estate Wines is located centrally within
the Lake Erie North Shore in the town of Harrow, Ontario. The
picturesque winery houses over 2.1 million litres of cooperage
in oak and stainless steel and uses the latest production,
bottling and labeling technology
to produce in excess of 200,000 cases. A large, humidity-controlled
barrel aging room with more than 500 |
|
| French, European and American
oak barrels is the birthplace of the company’s renowned red
wines such as Cabernet Franc and Merlot. |

Carlo Negri is the wine master of Colio Estates.
Before coming to Canada in 1980, Carlo Negri honed his craft
for years at one of the most reputable wineries in Italy.
In the early 80s, though the market was demanding white wines,
he dared to introduce noteworthy reds. Today, the winery
and
its award-winning wines of all styles are true reflections
of the dedication and passion of this Master Winemaker.
Carlo Negri accepted the “Tony Aspler Cuvée
Award of Excellence” at the Cuvée Awards ceremony
on Saturday, |
|
|
|
March 5, 2005. The winery and Carlo were recognized
with two Gold Medals: one for the 2002 CEV Merlot Reserve in
the Red Wine Category and another for the 2002 CEV Carlo Negri
Signature Meritage in the Limited Edition Red Wine category.
As well, aside from the gold, the CEV Merlot Reserve took home
the “Best in Category” honours.
The year 2005 marks the 25th year of existence for Colio Estate
Wines on the provincial wine scene. It was also twenty-five
years ago that Carlo Negri came to Canada to |
|
| be the winery’s first and only winemaker.
Jim Clark, President of Colio Estate Wines, stated, “Those
who were fortunate to have experienced his first vintages of Riserva
Rosso and Marechal Foch knew that his was a talent that would find
its way into the limelight. It was simply inevitable.”(Courtesy
