📝 Description
S.Pellegrino is a naturally carbonated mineral water that originates from springs in northern Italy (Lombardy, near Bergamo). As it travels underground, it gradually absorbs minerals that give it its characteristic flavour and mineral balance. The water is then bottled with a sparkling character — the fine bubbles give the drink a refreshing and elegant feel.
