Brewery
Birra Peroni, est. 1846
Recipe
Nastro Azzurro, since 1963
Ingredients
Water, barley malt, Italian maize, hops
Questions
What makes the maize special?
It's Nostrano dell'Isola, a variety grown exclusively for Peroni near Bergamo and irrigated by melted snow from the Italian Alps — part of what gives the beer its light golden colour and clean finish.
What food does it pair best with?
Pizza and antipasto are the classic match, but it also holds up well against fried food and grilled fish thanks to its light body and crisp, fast finish.
How should I serve it?
Well chilled, straight from the fridge — the citrus and floral hop notes come through best when it's served cold.
