Recommended wine: Frascati, Chablis, Pinot Grigio

Pasta Carbonaran on the menu? Try pairing with Frascati, Chablis, and Pinot Grigio. 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. The Principe Pallavicini Poggio Verde Frascati Superiore with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
