History of Acqua Panna

Acqua Panna is a premium Italian spring water sourced from the pristine Panna Spring, located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy. The spring, which has been providing pure water for centuries, lies within the San Casciano in Val di Pesa region. Its natural filtration process through the Tuscan hills gives Acqua Panna its smooth, balanced taste, making it a favorite among water connoisseurs and fine dining establishments worldwide.

The history of Acqua Panna dates back to the 16th century, when the Medici family, one of the most influential dynasties in Italy, became aware of the spring's exceptional quality. The family took great care in preserving and maintaining the natural source, ensuring that the water was accessible to the elite and their guests. Over time, the reputation of Acqua Panna grew, and it became a symbol of luxury and refinement.

In the 19th century, Acqua Panna began to be commercially bottled, which helped it gain recognition beyond Italy. As demand increased, the brand expanded, and its distribution reached international markets. Today, it is known for its high-quality, naturally sourced water, packaged in elegant glass bottles that reflect its rich heritage.

Acqua Panna continues to maintain its commitment to purity and sustainability, using modern techniques to protect the environment while ensuring the water's exceptional taste. With its long history and consistent quality, Acqua Panna remains one of the most respected names in the world of bottled water.
