Birra del Borgo: Artisanal Excellence in the Heart of the Spedino Plain
In the picturesque setting of the Spedino Plain, in the municipality of Borgorose (Rieti), lies Birra del Borgo, one of Italy’s most innovative and acclaimed microbreweries. Founded in 2005 by Leonardo Di Vincenzo, this brewery is a true benchmark for those seeking high-quality craft beer, capable of combining Italian tradition with contemporary experimentation.
Quality, Innovation, and Connection to the Territory
Birra del Borgo stands out for its impeccable attention to ingredient selection and continuous search for new taste experiences. A prime example is Lisa, a Light Italian Ale created in 2016, characterized by delicate hints of orange blossom, pink pepper, and coriander. This beer demonstrates the brewery’s ability to create original and unmistakable products, an authentic expression of Italian brewing artistry.
Il Bancone, the tap room opened the same year in the Spedino facility, offers a welcoming environment where guests can taste draft and bottled beers, purchase directly from the producer, and participate in themed events. This space has become a genuine meeting point for enthusiasts and the curious, who wish to discover the stories and secrets behind each individual beer.
The highly specialized production facility boasts a capacity exceeding 500 hectoliters annually, integrating a dedicated room with maturers that include amphorae, casks, tonneaux, and barriques. This complex structure allows Birra del Borgo to push towards new frontiers of flavor by experimenting with maturation techniques typical of the wine world, enriching the bouquet of the beers.
An Experience that Engages and Enhances the Community
Birra del Borgo is not limited to production: the company is committed to creating moments of sharing and brewing culture. Among the most appreciated events is Oyster Day, during which the Perle ai Porci, a stout born from a unique combination with oysters, is brewed in public. These initiatives allow visitors to immerse themselves in a multisensory journey where taste and conviviality intertwine.
The brewery’s philosophy is also based on a strong bond with the territory: all unmalted grains come from local farmers, particularly from the Monti della Duchessa Nature Reserve, a mountainous area of rare beauty and biodiversity. This connection with nature and the community reinforces the commitment to sustainability and support for the local economy.
Birra del Borgo thus embodies the best of made in Italy in the craft sector, where quality, creativity, and territorial roots meet to create extraordinary beers and a unique experience to be lived.
