Peroni has withdrawn its Nastro Azzurro Stile Capri lager from the UK having failed to “achieve the desired scale” for the line extension.
The Asahi UK-owned brand launched Stile Capri in March 2023, billing the 4.2% abv tipple as a lighter alternative to its flagship Nastro Azzurro lager. It was backed by a £3m investment at launch, and supported by a £17m pan-European campaign that began in Summer 2023 and was due to run for three years.
Sold in a clear bottle to emphasise the “golden richness of liquid”, and promising “a refreshing, summery taste”, Stile Capri was widely seen as a bid by Peroni to compete with AB InBev’s popular Mexican-style lager Corona.
