Peroni Libera 0.0% joins Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team in multi-year partnership

Peroni Libera 0.0%, the Super Premium alcohol-free beer brand, today announces a long-term, multi-year partnership with the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™️ Team.

The new partnership celebrates the global launch of Peroni Libera 0.0% as a stylish and aspirational alcohol-free beer choice and comes as the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™️ team prepares to make its highly anticipated return to Formula One™️ after more than 60 years.

Peroni Libera 0.0% will take centre stage of the partnership, bringing the alcohol-free product to a passionate global audience. Peroni Libera 0.0% will be served at prestigious events across the global Formula One™️ calendar including in the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™️ Team motorhome at most Grands Prix and across a number of stylish city centre activations aimed at engaging new and current consumers.

The partnership plays a key role in the ambitions of the Peroni brand’s parent company, Asahi Europe & International, to have 20% share of their portfolio dedicated to non-alcoholic products by 2030. Peroni Libera 0.0% is crafted with Italian passion and flair, to deliver a crisp and refreshing beer with 0.0% alcohol content. Its superior taste is delivered through a unique recipe with signature Italian Nostrano dell’Isola Maize, produced and bottled in Italy.

The Peroni Libera 0.0% logo will take pride of place on the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™️ Team’s 2021 challenger car livery and team kits during the season, which is set to be revealed to the world on Wednesday 3 March 2021. The partnership is in line with Asahi Europe & International’s responsible drinking ambitions and is perfectly positioned to support the increased consumer demand for non-alcoholic beverages. Peroni Libera 0.0% invites consumers to feel free to live every moment. Safely, and in style. Inspiring them to drink less, better by providing an aspirational choice which suits their lifestyle.

The brand will also partner with Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™️ Team to create a content campaign during the season aimed at opening the doors on both the team and the sport, engaging Formula One™️ fans and lifestyle audiences, and bringing them closer than ever before to the most elevated moments in Formula One.

The first film, released today, features Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™️ Team drivers Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll revealing their inner passion and flair and what inspires the two drivers to excel at the pinnacle of motorsport.

Asahi Europe & International -owned Italian brand Peroni Nastro Azzurro launched its first non-alcoholic beer Peroni Libera 0.0% in 2019. Triple hopped and made with Nostrano Peroni Maize to produce its distinctive rich fruity aroma, Peroni Libera 0.0% offers distinct notes of citrus and powerful hoppy bitterness, resulting in a crisp and refreshing finish. Peroni Libera 0.0% offers the same fresh taste experience as Peroni Nastro Azzurro and has been crafted with authentic Italian skill, passion, and flair.

Lawrence Stroll, Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™️ Team Chairman said: “We are thrilled to welcome Peroni Libera 0.0% to the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™️ family, and we are delighted that two such great brands will be in partnership from the very start of Aston Martin’s historic return as a team entrant to the top tier of global motor racing after an absence of 61 years.

"This partnership is another boost to the team ahead of the new season and is an opportunity to bring together two iconic brands on a unique journey in Formula One™️. We look forward to immersing Peroni Libera 0.0% into the team and achieving the brand’s global growth ambitions through the platform of Formula One™️.”

Richard Ingram, Global Brands Director at Asahi Europe & International said: “This is a landmark moment for Peroni Libera 0.0% and an opportunity to take our alcohol-free beer brand Peroni Libera 0.0% to consumers through the platform of Formula One™️.
