Peroni's premium strong lager — Gran Riserva is a step up from the flagship Nastro Azzurro in strength and body. Brewed with high-quality Saaz hops and lagered for longer, Gran Riserva has a fuller malt character, gentle warming finish and a more complex flavour profile than the standard. The Gran Riserva is Peroni's answer to the premium lager category: still crisp but with more presence at 6.6%.
