Carbonara and Passerina Donna Rosa from La Visciola, sensational

The Passerina Donna Rosa 2014 from La Visciola turns out to be a winning match with a typical Roman dish: Carbonara.
La Visciola is a pearl in the southern part of the Lazio region, in the area of Piglio, an estate where Piero Macciocca producers a number of wines, all according to biodynamic methods. And while he mostly makes Cesanese, he also produces a very interesting Passerina. I tasted it with Daniele Cernilli at the Roman restaurant La Ciambella and the wine’s intense color together with a certain languor brought on by the prospect of dinner inspired a “chromatic pairing” that turned out to be perfect: pasta carbonara and Passerina Donna Rosa, sensational.
