Sanpellegrino: A Sparkling Legacy from the Heart of Italy 🇮🇹💧 San Pellegrino’s iconic sparkling water comes from the small, picturesque commune of San Pellegrino Terme, nestled in Lombardy, Italy. The origins of this refreshing beverage date back to Roman times, when the region’s natural springs were first known for their healing properties. By the 18th century, San Pellegrino Terme had already gained fame as a spa town, attracting visitors from all over Europe for its therapeutic waters. In 1899, the local springs were bottled for the first time, leading to the creation of the now world-renowned San Pellegrino sparkling water. The water’s unique mineral composition and fine effervescence can be traced back to the volcanic rocks around the springs, which have naturally filtered and enriched it for centuries. San Pellegrino Terme’s rich history and its legacy of providing refreshing, sparkling water has made it a symbol of Italian quality and craftsmanship. The next time you enjoy a glass, remember the commune's centuries-old tradition of bringing natural refreshment to the world. 🥂✨ #SanPellegrino #ItalianSparklingWater #SanPellegrinoTerme #TasteOfItaly #MineralWater #ItalianHeritage #LuxuryBeverage #RefreshingHistory (fb)
