Cacio e Pepe

For the right pairing with spaghetti cacio e pepe you can choose either a rosso or a white wine, and by following simple tricks you can make the pairing perfect. If you love red, it's important that it be a light red: a Rosso di Montalcino or a Morellino di Scansano, for example, will go well with the savoriness of pecorino. If you're more in the mood for white it will have to be full-bodied, to balance the structure of the classic cacio e pepe alla romana: a Chardonnay from Alto Adige, for example, will do the job nicely.
