Carlo Negri immigrated from Italy in 1980 to be Colio Estate Wines' first wine maker.[1] His 30 year long career is credited with the flourishing wine/tourism of the Lake Erie North-Shore area.[1] Carlo won the "Tony Aspler Cuvée Award of Excellence" in 2005, an honor awarded to those who have "done most to further the aims and aspirations of the Ontario Wine Industry".[2] Carlo and the winery won two Gold Medals in 2002, for the CEV Merlot Reserve in the Red Wine Category, and for CEV Carlo Negri Signature Meritage in the Limited Edition Red Wine category. They also won "Best in Category" honors the same year.[3] After his passing in July 2014, Colio Estate Wines set up a $10,000 scholarship.
