New to wine but recieved two bottles from my uncle and don't know what I have. I'll describe the best that I can.

Vintage 1950 bottle is one quart..12%. Very odd shaped bottle with wicker weave around botttle and full wicker base. It has a samll spout near the top. It has a large cork hole in the side. It has to wicker corks to replace the spout and the side. The glass is clear.
Label information: Italia marchio nazionale on top label. Vintage 1950 chianti, colline rufinesi
Bottled and shipped by bessi and rovai....produced and bottled in Italy
Imported and and distributed by italian and french wine company. Buffalo,NY

romeo
6oz 12%

Both are unopened and full labels. Great shape for both. Any ideas?
