What is Peroni 0.0%?
Peroni was founded by Francesco Peroni in Vigevano, Italy, in 1846 and moved to Rome in 1864; its Nastro Azzurro lager followed in 1963. It isn’t independent: Japan’s Asahi Group has owned it since 2016, when AB InBev sold it as part of its takeover of SABMiller, and Asahi UK brings it to the UK. Its UK alcohol-free range is Nastro Azzurro 0.0%, which replaced Peroni Libera in 2022, and, since February 2026, two flavoured versions: Limone di Sicilia, with lemon, and Arancia Rossa, with blood orange.
Nastro Azzurro 0.0% replaced Peroni Libera 0.0% in the UK in April 2022. It’s brewed in Rome to the Nastro Azzurro recipe, with a maize grown in northern Italy for the brand, Asahi UK says, and the alcohol is then removed gently. The label lists water, barley malt, Italian maize, hops and natural flavours.
The UK label gives 23 kcal and 0.8g of sugars per 100ml, about 76 kcal a bottle. It’s easy to find: the big supermarkets stock it as well as the alcohol-free specialists. We score it 7.3 out of 10.
Tasting notes and what to expect
Appearance and aroma: Pale gold, brilliantly clear, white-foam head. Aroma is soft pale-malt with a faint floral hop note — clean, crisp, recognisably Italian-lager-shaped. The aroma is delicate rather than expressive, in the Peroni house style.
Palate and finish: Light body — lighter than Lucky Saint, comparable to Heineken 0.0. Soft malt sweetness up front, gentle hop bitterness, a clean dry finish. The body is the trade-off — Peroni 0.0% is light and refreshing rather than substantial. Drink well-chilled (below 5°C); warmer than that and the AF-lager character becomes more apparent.
Food pairings: Italian and Mediterranean food in particular — pizza, pasta with lighter sauces, antipasti, grilled fish, salads. Also works as a thirst-quencher with takeaway and casual-dining food. The light body suits warm-weather and lunchtime drinking.
How it compares: Lighter than Lucky Saint Unfiltered Lager. Comparable to Heineken 0.0 in body, with a slightly more aromatic profile (Peroni's hop character is more present). Cleaner than supermarket own-brand 0.0% lagers. The AF lager most associated with premium-lager territory in UK pubs and restaurants. See the alcohol-free lager hub for context.
