The quality of a mineral water will depend on the site of its source and the nature of the aquifer, the porous rock through which the water trickles.

Just like wine, natural mineral waters have their own 'terroir', a French word that means that each place on earth has its own signature taste.

San Pellegrino is a fine quality natural mineral water that flows from natural springs in Val Brembana in the San Pellegrino Terme area, at the foothills of the Italian Alps near Bergamo (Lombardy).
