Porta Del Vento

[Robert Dentice]

2008 Porta Del Vento Saharay

Saharay

This is without question one of the best of the Orange Genre. The fascinating thing about this wine is that it has the secondary characteristics of an older Rhone or maybe Burgundy.

Robert, this sounds like it'd be worth seeking out. What about the basic Porto del Vento?
This http://www.portadelvento.it/Vini.aspx makes it sound very attractive, at 12.5% abv.

I have only had the Saharay and both times it was unlike any wine I have ever had.

I purchased one bottle at Appellation and one at Italian Wine Merchants.
