    Barberani, Italy
    Among the many areas of Mr. Meador's pioneering work are: varietal identification and clonal isolation; vine physiology operational theory; basal leaf removal; vineyard design--close vine spacing and the vertical shoot system, as well as split-canopy trellising; root-stock studies; low and no sulfur dioxide use in winemaking; research and the introduction of malo-lactic fermentation in white wines to American winemaking; planting of America's first plantation of French barrel oak trees; and the list goes on and on. It is an extraordinary list of winegrowing contributions all having a pronounced effect upon American wines. Currently, most of the new coastal vineyard plantings are of the design and direction he developed. Procedures he developed are having profound effects upon wine. These changes are not limited to American vineyards. After testing the new vineyard design for a decade (1978-1988), the Ventana has been undergoing conversion in its entirety. Beginning with the 1994 harvest, the majority of the grapes from the Ventana will be from the new system of viticulture and the decades of research will converge on the glass of wine for the consumer. Mr. Meador works with both American winegrowers and foreign and continues to pursue viticultural research.

    Italian White Wine

    The rolling hills and endless coastlines of Italy deliver a unique diversity of soils and climate to foster a number of regional specialties. With a multitude of indigenous varieties that thrive exclusively here, the selection of white wines offers a range of styles and flavors.

    The most well-known white variety in Italy is of course Pinot Grigio. Typically found in the northern Italian regions, the light, fresh and easy-drinking options can be found in the Veneto region, while the richer, more complex styles come from Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige. These two northeast regions are also crafting delicions Pinot Bianco and a regional specialty, Friulano.

    In Piedmont, two white regions shine. The crisp and zippy Gavi, made with a Cortese grape, and Arneis, a variety that produces a subtle by dry wine. In the Veneto, the Garganegna grape creates the wine of Soave, a zesty but medium-bodied wine full of rich stone fruit and floral notes.

    Further south, you'll find the pretty and floral Falenghina, rich and tropical Grillo and zesty Greco. Head to Sicily to discover the delicious and complex Etna Biancos, made with the Carricante grape in the island's volcanic soils.

    If you enjoy a tangy but textured white wine with seafood, head to Sardinia and try out the Vermentino there. The grape is also found in other Italian provinces and is always a delight.
