Peroni Nastro Azzurro
The premium lager of the house, created in 1963 and named after the Blue Riband, the prize for the fastest Atlantic crossing that an Italian liner also won. Barley malt is joined by Nostrano maize, an Italian variety grown for this beer, which keeps it dry and never too sweet. It is straw yellow and clear. Delicate floral notes and a touch of spice balance the gentle bitterness of fine aroma hops, with hints of fresh bread, citrus peel and apple, and a high degree of attenuation leads into a light, crisp finish.
