mineral water
imported italianmineral waterAcqua Panna
From the hills of Tuscany, is Aqua Panna, the still mineral water that caresses the palate and best enhances the subtle flavours of the most delicate food and wine. Brilliant and crystal-clear, on the palate it is pleasingly soft and balanced, with tonic, refreshing and persistently smooth taste sensation. It is excellent with light foods that have subtle yet intense olfactory-gustative qualities. This is the perfect edition to a fine dining experience.

San Pellegrino
S. Pellegrino mineral water gushes out from a thermal spring at 700 meters, right in the heart of the Italian Alps. It is the result of an extraordinary combination of exceptionally pure water and minerals. The beneficial properties of this spring water have been known since most ancient times. The source had become so renowned as to merit a visit from the great Leonardo da Vinci. In 1899 S. Pellegrino water bottling company was founded. Today S. Pellegrino can be found on the tables of the world’s leading restaurants. It is the ambassador of the Italian style;“What ever language you speak, live in Italian”.
