Nazionale is the result of a search that started a few years ago at Birreria Le Baladin to create an artisanal beer made with 100% Italian ingredients. This quest lead the brewery to collaborating with grain farmers throughout the country and helping to establish some of the first hop farms in the Mediterranean country. Thanks to the cooperation with the Agricultural Institute of Cussanio, and Tecnogranda in Cuneo, Baladin Nazionale is the FIRST 100% ITALIAN BEER obtained solely from Italian raw materials.
The barley is grown and malted in Basilicata, in southern Italy. The hops used, Cascade and Magnum, are 80% produced in an experimental field in the town of Cussanio, in Piedmont and the remaining 20% are from Emilia-Romagna. The spices used in the recipe, Bergamot peel and Coriander hail from the southern Italian region of Calabria.
Nazionale is a delicate and accessible beer where the ingredients meet in a harmonious and original way, giving life to what, for us, is the first true “100% Italian ALE” in name, intent and fact!
