Geological Origin
S.Pellegrino^® Sparkling Natural Mineral Water flows from a thermal spring at the foot of a Dolomite mountain wall towering above the Brembo river in the Italian Alps. The town of San Pellegrino Terme is located near Bergamo, some 70  kilometers northeast of Milan.

The sources for S.Pellegrino^® Sparkling Natural Mineral Water are three deep springs, which emerge at 69.8°F. The waters come from an aquifer 1,300 feet below the surface, where limestone and volcanic rocks impart unique minerals and trace elements.

Widely enjoyed as an accompaniment to meals, S.Pellegrino^® Sparkling Natural Mineral Water lives up to its advertising line, “lingering at tables for over 100 years.”

Hydrogeological Model
The geological and morphological structure of the San Pellegrino Terme area is highly favorable for formation of the mineral water basin.

From the replenishment point, located on the Dolomite range on the right flank of the Valle Brembana, the water seeps down to great depths (over 2,200 feet) and begins a long, underground journey.

During this process, the water is mineralized through contact with the rocks and is heated by geothermal gradient until reaching the spring, where it has the balanced composition of S.Pellegrino^® Sparkling Natural Mineral Water.
