History[edit | edit source]

The history of Acqua Panna dates back to the Renaissance period, making it one of the oldest bottled water brands in the world. The estate where Acqua Panna is sourced was once owned by the Medici family, a powerful and influential dynasty in Italy during the 15th and 16th centuries.

Over the centuries, the reputation of Acqua Panna water grew, and it became a symbol of quality and refinement in the water industry.

Source and Production[edit | edit source]

The source of Acqua Panna water is situated at an altitude of approximately 900 meters above sea level. The water undergoes a natural filtration process as it travels through the underground aquifer, which is composed of limestone and sandstone. This natural filtration process enriches the water with minerals while maintaining a balanced and neutral pH level. Acqua Panna water is known for its soft taste and the absence of a strong mineral flavor, which makes it a preferred choice for pairing with fine dining.

The production process of Acqua Panna water adheres to strict quality control standards to ensure the purity and taste of the water are preserved. The water is bottled directly at the source, and the bottling facility employs advanced technology to maintain the water's natural composition and freshness.
