REDUCTION
Pour wine into small saucepan with sugar.
Simmer over medium heat until reduced by half (about 5-7 minutes).
You should have approximately 50ml of concentrated wine. Set aside to cool slightly.
GANACHE
Place chopped chocolate in heatproof bowl.
Heat cream in saucepan until just beginning to simmer (small bubbles around edges).
Pour hot cream over chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.
Starting from center, whisk in small circles, gradually working outward until smooth.
Add warm (not hot) reduced wine and whisk until combined.
Add butter and salt, whisking until glossy and smooth.
FINISHING
For truffles: Cool to room temperature, then chill until firm enough to roll.
For glazing: Use while still warm and pourable.
For cake filling: Cool until spreadable consistency.
