An Original Vintage Italian Wine Label (measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" [9 x 14 cm]) (Learn More) Colombo was an Italian distillery founded in the early 1900s by Angelo Colombo in the town of Cardano al Campo. The company initially specialized in grappa (a brandy distilled from the fermented residue of grapes after they have been pressed in winemaking) and sodas. His three sons Vittorio, Romeo and Ugo later joined the company, and it expanded to include the production of various liqueurs such as marsala all'uovo (a fortified wine), cognac, bitters, and more. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a group of linenbacked Italian wine labels we were consigned that we are currently auctioning in separate auctions. Each has a really cool image and they have been linenbacked so that they can be easily framed (they each have a wide blank linen border on all four sides, but one could mat over that area or trim it, if one chose to). We don't know the years these were created, so we just took our best guess, but they are definitely vintage and each has a cool different image. If anyone knows more about these labels or when they are from, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The wine label had a crease or tear in the lower right prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the label "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting.
