Dilute the tomato paste in the red wine.Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the onion and cook until softened.Add the beef, ribs and sausages and seal well all over (you may need to do this in batches).Raise the heat, stir in the diluted tomato paste and reduce by a third.Add the tomatoes and basil, season with salt and pepper and stir well.Bring to the boil, then lower the heat to a simmer, cover and cook very gently for about 2 hours, until the sauce is thick and silky.Stir from time to time, checking that there is enough moisture; if necessary add a little more wine or water.Remove from the heat and serve with pasta as suggested above, or on its own with lots of good bread to mop up the rich tomato sauce.
