Having founded the Birrificio del Ducato in Roncole Verdi it seemed only right to dedicate a beer to Maestro Giuseppe Verdi: Verdi Imperial Stout.

When he returned from his first trip to New York, the brewery's master brewer and founder, Giovanni Campari, decided to create an Imperial Stout with greater balance, elegance and drinkability than those tasted overseas.

The originality of his recipe lies in the use of chilli pepper: in fact the classic combination is proposed here with the chocolate notes of the beer, but above all it turns out to be a very successful expedient because the spicy finish teases the throat and lightens the fullness of taste and body of the beer making drinking easier.

Verdi Imperial Stout was the first Italian craft beer in history to obtain a gold medal in an international style competition: in 2008 it won gold at the European Beer Star in the Imperial Stout category
