Under the skilled craftsmanship of winemaker Marco Sferlazzo, Porta del Vento has emerged as a beacon of excellence in Sicilian low-intervention winemaking. Disheartened by a farmer’s decision to uproot aging Perricone and Catarratto vines, Marco intervened by acquiring his vineyards and converting them to organic and biodynamic practices. Nestled 2000 feet amidst the steep hills of Camporeale, a tiny village 25 miles south of Palermo, Porta del Vento is exposed to relentless, cold northern winds (hence the name “the door of the wind”), which help mitigate the hot Sicilian days. Mid-weighted and wonderful textural, giving an air of 'Sicilian White Burgundy' (more Mâconnais than Chablis), packed with plenty of citrus, white peach, and salty mineral cut.

“Wine Shop That’s Worth the Trip”

"Folkways is Spectacular! They are all highly customer focused, and incredibly knowledgeable. They carry interesting wines and spirits, things that are very hard to find elsewhere. (And if they don't have it they'll get it for you.)"

- Walter H.

“Wine geek paradise!”
