Top 10 Bottled Waters

San Pellegrino’s humble origins began about 760 years ago when the region from which the water is sourced was first recognized for its namesake martyr, San Pellegrino. The spring of San Pellegrino is sequestered in the mountains north of Milan, Italy, and was made famous by quenching the thirst of Leonardo da Vinci who firmly believed in the water’s curative powers. Today, the Fonte Termale, an opulent marbled drinking hall, is a monument to the glamour of “taking the waters.” San Pellegrino’s sources are three deep springs, which emerge from the ground at 69.8 degrees Fahrenheit. The waters come from an aquifer 1,300 feet below the surface, where limestone and volcanic rocks impart unique minerals and trace elements. Today, San Pellegrino averages sales of over 500 million dollars worldwide.
