Merlot & Carbonara

«Pairing wine and food from the same region is rarely a mistake. And since carbonara (at Gerberstube, we serve it with homemade Creste di Gallo pasta) is known to come from Rome, a wine from Lazio is a perfect match. Sodale is a full-bodied Merlot with hints of vanilla and structured tannins that, to me, encapsulates all the beauty of Italy. And by the way: Naturally, in Schaffhausen, we don’t use cream in our carbonara, which is made with the finest pecorino, guanciale and egg yolk.»
