S.Pellegrino

S.Pellegrino is an Italian brand of natural mineral water and assorted real-fruit beverages. The mineral water is sourced from a layer of rock 400 meters below the surface, where it is mineralized from contact with limestone and volcanic rocks. It is one of the most renowned waters globally and a perfect accompaniment to the world's finest meals.

History

S.Pellegrino was first founded in 1899, but its origins date back to at least the 12th century. The water from the spring was renowned for its health benefits, and Leonardo da Vinci is said to have visited the town of San Pellegrino Terme in 1509 to sample and examine the town's "miraculous" water.

Production
