I think there are different models.

@cyclintom posted a vintage lugged C40 from an acquaintance.

The C40/C50/C60 and related frames all have a distinct lug pattern, and are made in Italy.

The Colnago C-RS that the OP has is an "entry level" bike. I don't see confirmation of where it is made, but likely China or Taiwan.

The C-RS appears to have a monocoque construction, although as we all know that usually means molded main components that are epoxied together, not too different from the lugs, but with feathered joints.
