Partly verified

At least one of those three claims rests on a secondary source or an inference, a disagreement between sources is still open, or a split supply has a format that has not been read.

ABV and launch date verified from trade press. Brewing site inferred from Birra Peroni ownership of the Peroni brand family; no UK retailer country of origin field fetched for this variant.

Not listed at Asda, Ocado or Waitrose in searches on 2026-09-06 (Nastro Azzurro only); Tesco could not be read.

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

In short

Peroni Nastro Azzurro Stile Capri is imported. The UK product is brewed in Italy. It is also the same strength as at home, 4.2%. The brand belongs to Asahi Group Holdings, which also owns Asahi Super Dry and Fuller's in the UK.
