A good plate of spaghetti carbonara is eaten which is a marvel, some forkful and then … which wine to sip?
Spaghetti carbonara, flat icon of the popular cuisine of Lazio, they are very simple to prepare, a little less to combine with wine. Keep in mind that pasta and egg yolk they have a sweet taste, the pork cheek has greasy and oily consistency, the pecorino romano it's a lot sapid and the pepper, which should be ground in abundance, is pungent and persistent.
It will therefore serve a wine of moderate acidity, good intensity and persistence, with a certain softness and alcohol content; well even if it is effervescent.
The most "safe" pairing is with a white wine, perhaps from central Italy, to recall the geographical origin of the dish. Rosé wines are also good, especially those from Abruzzo and Lake Garda, while care must be taken with reds, avoiding those that are too tannic. The important thing, however, is not to be inspired by the song Carbonara by Spiff, where the protagonists accompany it with Coca-Cola!
