In a glass pitcher, combine red wine, fruit, orange liqueur and apple juice. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but 6 hours is recommended.
To serve, pour sangria and a scoop of fruit into an ice-filled glass leaving room to float the bubbles. Top with about 2 ounces prosecco, depending on the size of your glass.
Pour sangria in a tall glass with ice and a bit of the fruit, leaving room to pour 2 oz. of Prosecco. Garnish with fruit, if desired.
6 servings.
