Hi jimbill,
I am living on the Italian east coast ( Ancona ).
On the hills ( 20 miles from Ancona )the white wine " Balciana " 1997 got the white wine trophy 1999 ( International wine
challenge ) as best white in the world.
That wine is 100% cultivar Verdicchio.
Greetings from Italy

Try some whites from producers like Jermann, Regaleali, Gravner, Bellavista, and Gaja. All pretty expensive but definitely aren't anything like a Pinot Grigio. On the cheaper side I have found some producers of Arneis, Soave, Gavi, etc to put out serious efforts that can be pretty good.
