Birra Moretti – Authentic Italian Blonde

A round, fresh pale lager to kick off the aperitif

You pour, the white head rises in the glass, and the evening takes on the air of an Italian terrace. Moretti pale lager refreshes without being aggressive: lightly malty, not very bitter, it goes as well with the aperitif as with pizza.

What you'll taste

• Texture: light and sparkling, fine and tight head.
• Aromas: malt, grass and a floral touch.
• Taste: rounded, cereal-like and bittersweet, clean finish.

How to use it

• Well chilled, with a charcuterie board, olives or rosemary chips.
• Alongside a margherita pizza or a warm focaccia: the bubbles cut through the richness.
• With a few thin slices of mortadella, for an Italian bar aperitif.

Where it comes from

Birra Moretti was born in 1859 in Udine, in Friuli, when Luigi Moretti founded his beer and ice factory there. The man with the mustache on the label was photographed in 1942 at the Trattoria Boschetti in Udine, in exchange for a beer. The brand has belonged to Heineken since 1996.
