Bottle of Acqua Panna (2014)

Acqua Panna is an Italian brand of bottled water and one of the world's largest bottled water brands.[1][3][4] Acqua Panna takes its name from Villa Panna in the hills of Tuscany, where the natural spring was first discovered. The water was first bottled in 1880, and was subsequently the first still (uncarbonated) water to be produced in plastic bottles within the boundaries of Italy.[5]

Origin

The Acqua Panna source is located 1,100 m (3,700 feet) high in the Apennine Mountains of Tuscany, to the north of Florence.[5]

History

In the 16th century the powerful ruling family of the Medicis in Florence owned the spring, and it was fenced off as their private property.[6] The family had fresh drinking water from this preserved natural spring,[7] whereas many other unclaimed springs were contaminated with animal waste.[citation needed]

This brand belongs to Sanpellegrino S.p.A, a subsidiary of Nestlé,[8] and distributes it in Europe and North America.
