| Winemakers Notes: |
Colio Estate Vineyards Carlo Negri “Signature” 2002 is a cumulative result of our Master Winemaker’s 25 years of innovative viticulture in the Lake Erie North Shore and 45 years of dedication to his craft. Crafted with hand-picked grapes from specific vines at our Colchester Vineyards and in the Lake Erie North Shore, the cuvee was aged in European oak barrels for a total of 26 months. Specific barrels were then selected for the final blend and bottled in this special package. In conjunction with our 25th anniversary, this exquisite wine stands as a fitting tribute to the artistry of our Master Winemaker and our historic milestone in the Canadian wine industry.
