GET TO KNOW YOUR POUR

S.Pellegrino,
in the glass.

S.Pellegrino is sourced at the foothills of the Italian Alps and carbonated before it reaches your table. The result offers both a mineral impression and the tactile lift of bubbles. For pairing, explore contrast: a sip of sparkling water feels quite different after a mouthful of slow-cooked ragù, a spoonful of creamy risotto or the olive oil on grilled vegetables.

In the glass
Clear water with visible rising bubbles. A gentle pour helps you watch how the carbonation develops.
Aroma
Keep the glass neutral and let the dish provide the aromatic detail. The sparkling sensation is something to explore on the palate.
On the palate
A lively fizz with a noticeable mineral, lightly savoury impression. Compare its texture with a still water alongside the same food.
The finish
A lingering sparkle that creates a fresh contrast after a rich bite. Strong chilli may feel sharper with carbonation; taste to your preference.
THREE PAIRINGS TO TRY

Bring the water
and the food together.

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

01pasta

Slow-cooked ragù & pappardelle

A savoury sauce and broad ribbons of pasta create a rich mouthful. Sparkling water offers a lively contrast between bites, without adding another sweet or aromatic flavour.

02vegetarian

Mushroom risotto

Creamy rice and earthy mushrooms make texture the focus. Try a small sparkling pour after a spoonful and notice how the sensation differs from still water.

03vegetarian

Chargrilled aubergine & tomatoes

Soft vegetables, browned edges and olive oil give the water something to play against. Basil adds fragrance while the sparkling pour provides contrast.

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 chilled, around 8–10°C, and adjust to the meal and your preference.

  2. 02

    Pour gently into a clean wine glass. Use a modest serving so the remaining water stays capped and cool.

  3. 03

    Open close to the meal and avoid vigorous swirling. Compare sparkling and still in separate glasses if you want to explore the difference.
