A light-bodied chianti. The name means "friend." The lightest of our reds, Paisano also seems to show up most often at big family gatherings. There's something about the clean, easy-to-enjoy style and crisp raspberry taste of this wine that make it a favorite. As you might expect, because of its light body, Paisano pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes and cuisines from roast chicken to penne pasta with Italian sausage to Chinese style sweet and sour pork.
