Raffo Lavorazione Grezza beer

Raffo Lavorazione Grezza is a distinctive lager beer deeply rooted in the traditions of Taranto, Puglia. Known as the 'Beer of the Two Seas,' Raffo was originally established in 1919 by Vitantonio Raffo. This specific 'Grezza' variant is characterized by its use of unrefined cereals from Puglia, giving it a more rustic and authentic flavor profile. While it maintains its local identity and deep connection to the Apulian territory, the brand has been part of a larger corporate structure for decades.

Today, Raffo is owned by Birra Peroni S.r.l., which became a subsidiary of the Japanese giant Asahi Group Holdings in 2016. Despite this international ownership, the production remains tied to Italy, utilizing local raw materials like the unrefined cereals mentioned on the label to preserve its regional heritage. The marketing and distribution are handled by Birra Peroni, ensuring this regional icon continues to grow across Italy and beyond.
