Recommended wine: Frascati, Pinot Grigio, Chablis

Spaghetti Carbonara works really well with Frascati, Pinot Grigio, and Chablis. A crisp dry white wine balances out the richness of a creamy carbonara. Frascati is a Roman wine, which makes it an especially fitting choice to the Roman dish. One wine you could try is Principe Pallavicini Frascati. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 14 dollars.
