Birra Ichnusa lager

Ichnusa is an iconic beer brand deeply rooted in Sardinian culture. Founded in 1912 in Cagliari, Sardinia, it has become a symbol of the island's identity. The brand's name, 'Ichnusa', is the ancient Greek name for Sardinia. Historically, it was produced by local entrepreneurs until its acquisition by the multinational brewing giant Heineken in 1986.

Today, the beer is produced primarily at the Assemini brewery near Cagliari, Sardinia, maintaining its local heritage. While the brand is owned by Heineken N.V., a Dutch multinational, it is managed locally by Heineken Italia S.p.A. The ownership structure ensures that the brand benefits from global distribution networks while staying true to its Mediterranean origins and traditional recipe.
