September 11, 2024 / Palisade, Colorado – Carboy Winery, Colorado’s largest wine producer and the largest Charmat production facility outside of California, is proud to announce the launch of CO.SECCO, a Prosecco-style sparkling wine made exclusively from Colorado grapes. This exciting release is a collaboration with OpenSnow, designed to showcase the spirit of Colorado as an unparalleled destination for both adventure and wine.
CO.SECCO, crafted in the Charmat method, a tank fermentation process famously used for Italian Prosecco, delivers a vibrant and refreshing profile, featuring lively bubbles and crisp notes of green apple, lychee, and citrus zest. Its bright acidity and clean finish make it both a sophisticated and approachable sparkling wine, perfect for any occasion—whether paired with food or enjoyed solo.
CO.SECCO is more than a sparkling wine though—it’s an invitation to experience Colorado’s vast landscapes, from towering mountain peaks to the sweeping high-desert valleys. “From grape to glass, Colorado wine is an adventure unto itself,” says Carboy Winery CEO Kevin Webber. “With CO.SECCO, we’ve crafted a wine that captures the excitement of Colorado’s adventures, whether you’re conquering a summit, exploring the backcountry, or unwinding after a day on the slopes, all while telling our story as passionate grape growers and winemakers.”
The label, designed in collaboration with OpenSnow, beautifully illustrates the harmony between wine and Colorado’s outdoor lifestyle. OpenSnow, a trusted platform for planning Colorado’s outdoor experiences, is a staple for enthusiasts seeking the best conditions for their next journey. Whether you’re skiing, hiking, or simply enjoying the scenery, CO.SECCO embodies the perfect pairing of wine and the state’s natural beauty, enhancing every moment spent in the great outdoors.
Since its founding in 2016, Carboy Winery has been unwavering in its mission to elevate Colorado’s wine industry. In 2021, they opened their fourth tasting room and a state-of-the-art sparkling wine facility in the heart of Colorado’s wine country. As the largest Charmat facility outside of California, Carboy is at the forefront of positioning Colorado as a premier destination for world-class sparkling wines. “We believe Colorado can be known not just for its recreation and breathtaking scenery, but for the exceptional quality of its wines,” says CEO Kevin Webber. “CO.SECCO is the next milestone in that vision.”
CO.SECCO will be available just in time for ski season, for $28 a bottle, beginning October 19th at Carboy Winery’s tasting rooms across Colorado and select retailers. Visit www.carboywinery.com to learn more and plan your next adventure with a bottle of CO.SECCO by your side.
