We offer wines from the Fontana Candida winery, whose vineyards feature varieties of Malvasia, Trebbiano, Greco, Bombino Bianco, and Bellone. This winery represents the most authentic and refined expression of the winemaking tradition of Lazio and Rome\u2014a place where wines loved in Italy and across the globe are created every single day. <\/p><p>Another white wine not to be missed is <strong>Bellone<\/strong>, a highly prized ancient grape variety. Despite facing looming threats to its production in recent years, it is now making a strong recovery. This makes Bellone even more sought-after and precious.

In fact, they are wonderful to sip alongside various dishes on the menu, starting with fried starters and artichokes (carciofi alla romana and alla giudia), right through to pasta dishes like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pistamentuccia.it\/en\/pasta-alla-gricia-roman-flavours-in-bologna\/\">gricia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pistamentuccia.it\/en\/the-secret-of-tonnarelli-cacio-e-pepe\/\">cacio e pepe<\/a>. Many people turn their noses up at the idea of pairing the sapidity of pecorino romano with white wine, but trust us: the crisp notes of the whites alongside the bold flavours of the cheese are &#8216;na favola\u2014an absolute match made in heaven!  <\/p><p>Prefer to stick to the classics? Enjoy gricia, cacio e pepe, and all the savoury goodness of pecorino with the aromatic profile of a good glass of roman red wine. Both Cesanese and Nero Buono\u2014the former more robust and spicy, the latter sweeter and more aromatic\u2014pair perfectly with the richer dishes of Roman cuisine, such as abbacchio (lamb), coda alla vaccinara (oxtail stew), or a hearty amatriciana.  <\/p><p>At Pistamentuccia, we always love recommending the perfect pairing to elevate the flavours of your meal. Here are a few suggestions featuring our most typical dishes and ingredients:<\/p><ul><li>Carbonara: For such a rich and savoury dish, our recommendation is a structured red like Cesanese.<\/li><li>Guanciale: The perfect marriage is with a good glass of Lazio red wine\u2014there is absolutely no doubt about it.<\/li><li>Carciofi: The undisputed star here is Bellone. Its crispness perfectly balances the bold flavour of the artichokes, whether they are served alla romana or alla giudia.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pistamentuccia.it\/en\/where-to-eat-authentic-pecorino-romano-in-bologna\/\"><strong>Pecorino romano<\/strong><\/a>: To accompany it beautifully, a smooth red wine like Nero Buono is the ideal choice. But for those who don&#8217;t want to settle for the usual, we highly recommend trying pecorino-based pasta dishes paired with a white wine. The pepper and the savoury notes of the aged cheese paired with the fruitier notes of the white will amaze you. Take Flavio&#8217;s word for it! <\/li><li><strong>Coda and meat sauces<\/strong>: Robust dishes demand equally bold wines. In this case, thanks to its spicy notes, Cesanese beautifully enhances the complexity of the dish. <\/li><\/ul><p>If you are passionate about wine and roman cuisine, we are waiting for you at <b>Pistamentuccia<\/b> to help you discover our selection of <b>roman wines <\/b>and the dishes that pair best with them.
