S.Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral water is rich in dissolved minerals (magnesium and calcium) and has a pleasant & refreshing taste. The S.Pellegrino website claims that it is "the champagne of mineral waters". The origin of the S.Pellegrino mineral water is 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 km northeast of Milan.
