Easy Italian Red Sangria Recipe for Easter

In summary, Chef Becky said that she is hosting a "Girls Wine Night" party and that she is going to make the classic Sangria. She recommends using non-alcoholic wine, and orange, lemon, and lime slices if desired. She also says that the Sparkling Sangria she has made with both regular and non-alcoholic wine, and also with white and red wines is good any way that she has made it.

Anyone have a good (and easy) Italian Red Sangria recipe? I am doing a very non-traditional EAster and going Italian...Lasagna, salad, Garlic Bites, and red wine/Sangria.
 
I actualll LOVE Carlo Rossi Sangria - I add some grapes, limes and orange to it - makes it easy and delish!!
 
Here are a couple different PC recipes - the first is from 2006 Una Muestra....the 2nd one I have used at many shows - people love it, and it's also good using white wine.

Thank you Becky! I think I just may have to do a "sample" batch before Sunday:D (haha).
 
You are welcome! I forgot to add that the Sparkling Sangria I have made with both regular and non-alcoholic wine, and also with white and red wines - it's been good any way that I've made it.
 
My family has been known to make cheater "sangria" which sounds weird, but it tastes good. Just mix red wine (it can be the cheap stuff) with orange soda. You can make it by the glass, so someone who wants less orange just uses less soda.
