For a more intense basil flavor, let the syrup steep for a longer period before straining. Garnish with fresh peach slices and basil sprigs for an elegant presentation. Experiment with different types of white wine to find your perfect balance of flavors. A dry rosé would also be lovely. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to the syrup, according to your preference. This sangria can be made ahead of time. Just add the wine right before serving to maintain its effervescence.
