Unverified

No brewer statement or pack transcription has been found for the key claims. This page is published so that readers can send evidence; it is not indexed by search engines.

An Aldi listing exists but could not be read. Strength, country of origin and brewer are all not established. Needs a bottle photo.

The small print on the base of a current can or bottle, giving the producer name and address, would settle this.

In short

We have not been able to establish where the UK supply of Rossini Gran Riserva Birra is brewed. It is sold as a beer from Italy. What is known and what is still open is set out in the verification box above. A photo of the small print on a current can or bottle would settle it.

This page is about the packs sold in supermarkets. Draught in pubs can come from a different brewery, and this page does not cover it unless a format table says so.
