Water taste changes depending on its mineral composition. They can combine differently with wines, beverages in general and food. Ideal harmonization is achieved when the organoleptic qualities of water accompany those of food and wine, without covering them.
Giuseppe Vaccarini, Best Sommelier of the World 1978, describes the taste of Acqua Panna® Natural Spring Water as smooth and velvety:
“Acqua Panna is limpid and luminous and has neither effervescence nor any off-putting odor, and at a first sip has a pleasant, fresh, taste. Acqua Panna is low-acid in type and carries few mineral salts, without, however impairing its structure. To the taste, it is light and feathery, pleasantly soft and velvety. Acqua Panna shows a perfect balance in all its components, while the sensations induced linger in the nose and mouth for an appreciable period of time.” For more information about the art of tasting water, download the Water Codex here: the study in three different volumes conducted by some of the world’s foremost flavor experts on behalf of S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna, in order to establish the tasting criteria for waters and the rules for their harmonization with food and wine.
