Peroni: The Path to Libera 0.0%
Who Started Peroni?
Iconic Italian Francesco Peroni crafted the very first of the now famous range of brews with access to high quality local ingredients and a method that relied on the aid of glacial ice and water stowed away in preparation from winters prior.
This dedication to the craft saw the brand, at the hand of Francesco and his son Giovanni (as the company expanded its operations to Rome in 1864) grow to one of Italy’s most recognised and popular Italian beers world wide.
The father and son duo, brewed the early brews with a strong focus on:
- Creativity;
- Italian flair; and of course
- Classic luxury and style.
How did Libera 0.0% come about?
The brand quickly earned its place in all corners of Italian and European society. From the bustling and culture filled piazzas to the exclusive engagements frequented by politicians, royals and A-list actors alike, saw the beers that were (and still are) produced locally in Italy remain a staple presence.
Now owned by Asashi Europe & International, the brand has its flair and authenticity guiding it and at the core of what it has to offer. Peroni says “effortless style, creative and authenticity are still at the core of Peroni Nastro Azzurro” today.
With their latest innovation – Peroni Libera 0.0.%, the team have have developed a zero alcohol beer that stays true to the Nastro Azzurro heritage while capturing the want for consumers to drink mindfully and have options that range from a full strength Peroni Nastro Azzurro to a Peroni Libera 0.0%.
