¼ cup Sangiovese Vinaigrette
Sangiovese Vinaigrette
¾ cup Sangiovese or other medium-bodied, high-acid red wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon packed brown sugar, or to taste

Recipe
Freshly ground pepper for garnish
On each of 4 salad plates arrange the cheese slices, tomato slices, and basil leaves alternately in an overlapping row. Drizzle each salad with about 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette and sprinkle with pepper.
Sangiovese Vinaigrette
Bring the wine to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the wine is reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and garlic; continue to simmer until the garlic has softened, about 1 more minute.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Whisk in the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 1 week. Whisk or shake before using
