San Pellegrino

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an early connoisseur of the virtues of the water that springs forth not far from Bergame in a steep-walled valley of the Italian Alps. Three centuries later, the Palazzolo family built a spa around the spring. And that's how the history of San Pellegrino began.

But its international adventure didn't really begin until 1899, when a bottling plant was built. Led by Cesare Mazzoni, the President of the San Pellegrino S.p.A Company, the fine-bubbled sparkling water could be found at the best tables in major capitals by the early twentieth century. It became associated with the jet set everywhere in the world, from Sydney to New York to Buenos Aires. But San Pellegrino owes its international adventure especially to Italian emigrants: wherever they settled, this little bit of Italy went along with them for the ride.

TASTING SAN PELLEGRINO

San Pellegrino is brilliant, lacking in any distracting odor, with a fairly dense perlage of reasonably fine bubbles in abundance. The immediate impression on the taste buds is one of tingling freshness, followed by moderate acidity that stimulates salivation, while the high mineral content leaves a pleasant aftertaste. Generally speaking, San Pellegrino has a commendable structure, and leaves behind a persistent and gratifying sensation.
