Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and continue cooking until onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add bell peppers; cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with basil, oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Step 3
Pour wine into the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir in cooked rice until well combined with vegetables. Top with Parmesan cheese to serve.
