The story

Origin

The Acqua Panna source is located 1,100 m (3,700 feet) high in the Apennine Mountains of Tuscany, to the north of Florence.

History

In the 16th century the powerful ruling family of the Medicis in Florence owned the spring, and it was fenced off as their private property. The family had fresh drinking water from this preserved natural spring, whereas many other unclaimed springs were contaminated with animal waste.

The brand belongs to Sanpellegrino S.p.A subsidiary of Nestlé, and is sold in Europe, the Americas and Asia.

Acqua Panna is bottled in glass (25 cl, 50 cl, 75 cl, 1 L) and plastic (33 cl, 50cl, 75 cl, 1 L) bottles.
