How old is too old???

I'm going to guess that the Chianti is probably on it's way out, if not gone already. Chianti is meant to be consummed young.

As for the Maddalena, I'm going to guess that it's probably ok, but I don't think it's Sonoma fruit.

As said by Winoweenie, I would pop those puppies and see what's inside them.

For aging there are a few factors that are key: temperature, light, humidity and the grape. Not all grapes are indended to age.
