Allow me to introduce you to PasoSecco, the first and only Charmat-style sparkling wine made exclusively with grapes from Paso Robles, California.
In this video, I interview PasoSecco's founder and vintner, Chris Kern, to discuss the unique process behind this refreshing and delicious sparkling wine.
Learn about the Charmat method, a tank fermentation style primarily used in Italy to make Prosecco, and how it differs from the traditional champagne production method.
Discover why Chris chose to showcase Paso Robles' legacy and quality by using Grenache Blanc, a white Rhone varietal, as the base for PasoSecco. Chris also shares his passion for the Paso Robles wine region, highlighting the small-town feel, supportive winemaking community, and the perfect growing conditions that allow for the creation of world-class sparkling wines like PasoSecco.
The tasting notes of PasoSecco, from the fresh-squeezed lime and green apple candy on the attack to the lemon curd flavor mid-palate and the clean, quick finish thanks to its high effervescence. Find out why this mouth-watering, high-acidity sparkling wine pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes, from oysters and fried chicken to creamy cheeses and fettuccine Alfredo.
Finally, get insider information on where to taste PasoSecco for yourself during your next visit to Paso Robles.
