San Pellegrino's History

San Pellegrino is a brand of mineral water with carbon added; it is produced and bottled at San Pellegrino Terme, in the Province of Bergamo, Lombardy.

 

In 1395, the town borders of San Pellegrino were drawn, marking the start of its water industry. San Pellegrino mineral water has been produced for over 600 years. An analysis of the water that took place in 1782 (the first year that such analysis took place) showed that the water today was strikingly similar to the water tested in 1782.

 

In 1509 Leonardo da Vinci visited the town to sample and examines its “miraculous” water. He later wrote a treatise on the subject.

 

Below the surface at 400 meters, the water may originate from a layer of rock, where it is mineralized from contact with limestone and volcanic rocks. The water emerges from three deep springs at a temperature of about 22 °C (72 °F). The springs are located at the foot of a Dolomite mountain wall which favors the formation and replenishment of a mineral water basin. The water then seeps to depths of over 700 m (2,300 ft) and flows underground to a distant aquifer.

 

San Pellegrino introduced Aranciata in 1932; a soda that contains San Pellegrino as its primary ingredient, which is mixed with orange juice. Today, San Pellegrino also produces various other flavors of carbonated beverages, including Limonata.

 

The company was renamed San Pellegrino SpA on April 20, 1970, and later that year it became the leading beverage company in Italy. The company continued to expand throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s, and in 1988, San Pellegrino became the first Italian mineral water brand to be exported to France. In 1998, San Pellegrino SpA was bought out by Nestlé.

 

Today San Pellegrino is exported to most countries in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Australia. It is also exported to Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
