Irish took tomato gin — yes, such a thing exists — and tomato vermouth, and combined them with a basil eau de vie and herbs, topping it all off with a splash of Lambrusco
I dunno - I feel like Campari or similar bitter aperitif/amaro is the one hard requirement for a Negroni…
Yeah, lacking an amaro, I feel like it might be a touch unbalanced.
That said, you could probably make a toned-down version at home. My wife commented recently that Dolin vermouth has some notes that are reminiscent of tomatoes, and they definitely show through when I make negronis with it. Gin, Campari, and Dolin, with the herbal garnish from this instead of an orange peel might work pretty well!

You're trying way too hard.
