Blanch Tomatoes: Score an 'X' on the bottom of each tomato. Boil a large pot of water. Submerge tomatoes for 1 minute, then transfer to an ice bath. Peel off skins easily.

Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and chili pepper (if using). Sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add Garlic: Add minced garlic and cook for 5 minutes more, until fragrant.
Simmer the Sauce: Add chopped tomatoes, red wine, water, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add more water if needed to maintain consistency.
Sweeten and Finish: Stir in sugar (if using) and fresh herbs. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
Serve or Freeze: Let cool completely before freezing in airtight containers. Alternatively, serve immediately with your favorite pasta, meatballs, or use as a base for lasagna, eggplant parmesan etc.
