Melt butter in large sauté pan; add onion, cloves, bay leaves, and cinnamon and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add basmati, stir to coat with oil, and sauté 5 more minutes. Stir in broth, wine, and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
