GET TO KNOW YOUR POUR

Acqua Panna,
in the glass.

Naturally sourced in the Tuscan hills, Acqua Panna brings a still, understated character to the dining table. Its published profile includes a modest mineral content without carbonation. Use that gentle direction to explore the details of a meal: the filling inside fresh pasta, a little fragrant olive oil, or the delicate texture of simply cooked fish.

In the glass
Clear and still. A small pour in a clean stemmed glass lets you focus on texture.
Aroma
A restrained, neutral impression that leaves room for sage, basil and other ingredients in the meal.
On the palate
Look for a smooth, gentle texture with a subtle mineral presence. Notice the water beside a delicate dish before trying a stronger sauce.
The finish
Quiet and clean, without the prickling sensation of carbonation. A useful contrast when served beside sparkling water.
THREE PAIRINGS TO TRY

Bring the water
and the food together.

Simple dishes, thoughtfully chosen.
Try a sip before and after each bite.

01pasta

Ricotta ravioli & sage butter

Tender pasta and a mild filling reward a gentle accompaniment. Use sage butter sparingly so the ricotta and pasta remain the focus.

02seafood

White fish, lemon zest & olive oil

Simply cooked fish provides a delicate starting point. Lemon zest gives aroma without the intensity of a heavily acidic sauce.

03vegetarian

Burrata, tomatoes & basil

Fresh dairy and ripe tomatoes bring softness, juiciness and fragrance. A still water offers a quiet accompaniment to these familiar Italian ingredients.

THE FINISHING TOUCHES

A considered pour.

Temperature, glassware and the way you serve can change the tasting experience. Start here, then make it your own.

  1. 01

    Begin lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, rather than ice-cold. Adjust the temperature to what you enjoy.

  2. 02

    Choose a clean, odour-free wine glass with enough room for a small, gentle pour.

  3. 03

    Keep citrus slices and ice separate during a tasting. Add them later if that is how you prefer to serve your water.
