Non-Alcoholic Beverages
Acqua Panna
The unique taste of Acqua Panna Natural Mineral Water comes from the earth. North of Florence, in the foothills of the Apennines, to be precise. Each drop takes a 14-year journey through the aquifer beneath the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany. The result: a unique mineral composition, with its natural pH.
Every sip evokes the authentic essence of Tuscany; the rolling countryside, idyllic villages, rich culture and, of course, the love of exceptional food. This elegance and taste is partly why Acqua Panna is a favorite among chefs and sommeliers, and explains why it elevates the tables of fine dining establishments around the world. The other reason: its balanced taste is the perfect pairing for food and wine alike, enhancing flavor and drawing out nuance.
