Acqua Panna
Acqua Panna is an Italian brand of bottled water and one of the world's largest bottled water brands. Acqua Panna takes its name from the Villa Panna in the hills of Tuscany, where the natural spring was first discovered, and it was first bottled in 1880, and in Italy, later the first still water to be bottled in plastic bottles.Origin
The Acqua Panna source is located high in the Apennine Mountains of Tuscany, to the north of Florence.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. The family had fresh drinking water from this preserved natural spring, whereas many other unclaimed springs were contaminated with animal waste.
This brand now belongs to San Pellegrino, which is owned by Nestlé, which distributes it into Europe and North America.
