The origins...
Flowing from the snow and the rain that infiltrate in the high dolomitic mountains (1200-1300 metres above sea level), the water takes average 30 years to travel through the rock before finally arriving at San Pellegrino Terme (at 350 metres ASL). Along the way, it becomes naturally enriched with minerals. The addition of carbon dioxide provides acidity and prolongs the now sparkling water’s sensation of scent and taste, finishing with a slightly bitter note, which has made it famous and unmistakable throughout the world.
The unique attributes of a mineral water depend on the site of its source and the nature of the deep layer of porous rock through which the water flows. Just like wine, every natural mineral water has its own distinctive ‘terroir’, a French term meaning the unique environment that determines its signature mineral content.
