For an even richer flavor, brown the pork shoulder on all sides before adding the wine and water. Feel free to add other meats such as Italian sausage or beef short ribs for a more complex flavor profile. If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to partially blend the gravy at the end of the cooking time. Be careful not to over-blend. Serve over your favorite pasta with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
