Add the wine and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the wine evaporates. Add the tomatoes and lemon zest and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the broth and bring it to boiling. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, until the mixture has thickened.
Add the beans and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper and simmer for 1 minute.
