Perfectionists sometimes do not like admitting to their fixation, but for Jarno Trulli there is no effort to hide his trait. In fact, on the back of every bottle of wine that is shipped from his Podere Castorani vineyard he declares as much himself.

"I've always sought perfection in everything I do," writes Trulli on the label. "In a racing car, where split seconds make the difference; and in the vineyard, where hard work and meticulous care can guarantee a wine's quality and unique character."
