Acqua Panna
Brand of bottled water From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acqua Panna is an Italian brand of bottled water and one of the world's largest bottled water brands.[1][3][4] The brand belongs to Sanpellegrino S.p.A subsidiary of Nestlé. Acqua Panna takes its name from Villa Panna in the hills of Tuscany, where the natural spring was first discovered. The water was first bottled in 1880, and was subsequently the first still (uncarbonated) water to be produced in plastic bottles within the boundaries of Italy.[5]

History
 | This section needs additional citations for verification. (November 2017) |
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.[6] The family had fresh drinking water from this preserved natural spring,[7] whereas many other unclaimed springs were contaminated with animal waste.[citation needed]
The brand belongs to Sanpellegrino S.p.A subsidiary of Nestlé,[8] and is sold in Europe and the Americas.
