In a large pitcher, combine the sliced orange, lemon, lime, chopped green apple, and sliced strawberries.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the fruits and gently stir to coat. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to let the fruit release its juices.
Pour the red wine, orange juice, and brandy into the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, add the club soda to the pitcher and stir gently.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a slice of orange or a mint leaf if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sangria Barcelona.
