Notes
Wine: The best wine to use are Spanish red wines like Rioja, Tempranillo and Garnacha. But you can use any bottle of red wine, preferably a dry one like Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir.
Fruit: You’ll want to use fresh fruit in the recipe. Frozen fruit will get too squishy and melt, which will dilute the flavor. As much as possible, use really ripe fruit. This way, you get sweeter notes in the sangria.
