Nastro Azzurro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nastro Azzurro is an international beer produced by the Peroni Brewery of Rome. It is a premium pilsner. The taste is that of a typical pilsner with a hint of citrus and well-ripened hops.
Its name means Blue Ribbon in Italian since the Blue Riband won by Italian Ocean Liner SS_Rex in 1933.
Currently Nastro Azzurro is the sponsor of famous MotoGP rider, Valentino Rossi.
In the United Kingdom, Nastro Azzurro is best known as the main beer served in the pizza chain Pizza Express.
Nastro Azzuro is currently known as Peroni in the UK. It is distincly different from the 'original' Peroni, which comes in a brown bottle and has a red label.
South African brewing giant SABMiller bought the brand in 2005.
