You need good red wine to make this drink, which deserves to be included here both for its taste and its ease of preparation. You can use Bordeaux, Chianti, Sangiovese and similar wines.
Boil the sugar in the water for five minutes. Remove from the fire and squeeze into the syrup the juice of the lemons, then pour in the wine. Strain through a cheesecloth. Put it back on the fire and let simmer for twenty-five minutes. Bottle it after it has cooled. Serve it diluted with water and on ice in the summer. For long preservation, store in the cellar.
