In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and port wine. Stir to mix.
Add the honey, fresh rosemary sprig, salt, and black pepper (if using) to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by about half and reaches a syrupy consistency. This should take approximately 15-20 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the rosemary sprig.
Let the drizzle cool slightly to thicken further, then transfer it to a small container or serving dish.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving, if needed.
