Where is Ichnusa brewed?
Ichnusa is genuinely imported from Italy, at the same strength as at home.
Partly verified
At least one of those three claims rests on a secondary source or an inference, a disagreement between sources is still open, or a split supply has a format that has not been read.
ABV verified from a retailer page. No country of origin field and no producer address were shown, so import is inferred from the marketplace seller and the absence of any UK brewing evidence. The Assemini brewery site is general knowledge and not sourced here.
The small print on the base of a current can or bottle, giving the producer name and address, would settle this.
In short
Ichnusa is imported. The UK product is brewed at Assemini, Sardinia in Italy. It is also the same strength as at home, 4.7%. The brand belongs to Heineken N.V. (Heineken Italia S.p.A.), which also owns Birra Messina and Birra Moretti in the UK. The label says: "Described as Italian / Sardinian; the retailer listing did not show an explicit country of origin field."
