Producer's Background:
Peroni Nastro Azzurro was founded by Francesco Peroni in 1846 in Vigevano, Italy. The brewery quickly became known for its light, crisp lagers, suitable for the Italian climate and made with the finest local ingredients, including glacial water from the nearby mountains. Inspired by the SS Rex winning the ‘Blue Ribband’ award in 1933, Peroni adopted the Blue Ribbon as a symbol of high achievement and Italian flair. In 1963, during the height of La Dolce Vita, Carlo Peroni created Peroni Nastro Azzurro, which epitomized the style and quality of Italian brewing.
Serving Suggestions:
Peroni Nastro Azzurro is best served chilled, at around 3-5°C, in a tall, slender glass which helps to showcase its light golden color and vibrant carbonation. It pairs beautifully with light and flavorful dishes such as seafood, grilled chicken, or even a simple Margherita pizza, enhancing the dining experience with its refreshing and balanced flavor.
Enjoy Peroni Nastro Azzurro as it transports you to the stylish terraces of Italy, where fashion, art, and the finest food and drink blend seamlessly into the backdrop of everyday life.
