Birra Moretti
Founded in 1859 by Luigi Moretti in Udine, Friuli — one of Italy's oldest and most recognisable beer brands. The iconic moustachioed man on the label is a photograph taken by Luigi Moretti's grandson at a market in Friuli in 1942, depicting a stranger who perfectly embodied the spirit of Italian everyday life. Birra Moretti grew through the 20th century to become a household name across Italy before being acquired by Heineken in 1996, which has since expanded distribution to over 40 countries. The portfolio ranges from the classic lager to the Doppio Malto and the unpasteurised La Rossa.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
