First discovered in the Alps in the 13th century, the waters from the town of San Pellegrino Terme were deemed excellent for the health of body and spirit. From its first analysis in 1782, San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water has remained remarkably pure and consistent. It contains 14 important minerals and trace elements to keep your body fit and your skin glowing. Acqua Panna is Italy's most famous natural, flat spring water. The source, which was first discovered in the 1800's, is hidden in the peaceful hills between Florence and Rome. With its crisp, clean taste, it's not surprising that more than 300 million liters of Acqua Panna are bottled each year.
The town of San Pellegrino in the mountains north of Milan was first made famous by quenching the thirst of Leonardo da Vinci. Today the Fonte Termale, an opulent marbled drinking hall, is a monument to the tradition of "taking the waters."
S.Pellegrino's sources are three deep springs which emerge at 69.8 degrees F. The waters come from an aquifer 1,300 feet below the surface, where limestone and volcanic rocks impart unique minerals and trace elements.
Widely enjoyed as an accompaniment to meals, S.Pellegrino lives up to its advertising line, "lingering at tables for over 100 years."
