Over and out
I have the Cinzano long-sleeve jersey and the Molteni wool shorts. I think they're both great. The build quality and materials are top-notch, and the chamois in the shorts is excellent for all but the longest rides. I don't know that the shorts are quite as comfy as the Assos bibs I recently procured, but they've held up well to lots of washing and are quite effective for a broad temperature range (with leg warmers, I've worn them in temps at around 10F and all the way up to about 65F so far - comfy the whole time).
I personally do not find either garment to be itchy, but I also washed them first. I machine wash both with Woolite on gentle and then block dry. They've held shape and size, and they are great at resisting odors and so on.
I give 'em a strong nod.
