Both bottles retain their original Italian tax strips (Repubblica Italiana), confirming 1970s import.

Labels show minor wear consistent with age but remain intact and legible.

Provenance: These bottles come from a private Italian collection, stored upright in a cool, dark cellar since original purchase. The presence of the original depliant suggests they were kept as display/collector's items.
