The Smoothest Tasting Water
May 2019
Meet the smoothest taste on earth! Acqua Pannna is Tuscany captured in a bottle. The name comes from the Villa Panna Estate in Tuscany, a summer estate that was owned by the renowned Medici family of Florence. The premium still water has a pH of 8.0 or higher and is naturally alkaline from the source.
The unique flavor profile and mineral composition of Acqua Panna creates the smoothest tasting water with a naturally alkaline spring water. An epic journey for a taste like no other, Acqua Panna® is crafted by nature and flows through the beautiful, sun-drenched hills of Tuscany. Each drop is naturally filtered by earth and perfected by time on its 14-year journey to the spring. It has a special mineral balance from nature for a smooth taste, like no other.
The BPA free bottles come in both glass and recyclable plastic. From the smaller 250mL glass bottle to the 70mL and 1L classic Vichy shape glass bottles, to the 750mL sport cap plastic bottle to the 1L plastic screw cap, the bottles were designed with every need in mind. Take Acqua Panna on a picnic or a barbeque with friends, or enjoy a touch of Italian style when out on the town celebrating. Acqua Panna is the perfect choice for every journey.

Nestle Waters North America Unleashed Sparkling Water Potential of Spring Water Brands
New Flavors and Package Options Could Lead to Explosive Growth in the Category
March 2018
As more and more consumers seek healthy beverage options, Nestle Waters North America is preparing to drive significant growth in the sparkling water category. The company is applying its sparkling expertise from premium brands Perrier and S. Pellegrino and harnessing the brand loyalty to its Regional Spring Water Brands to offer Americans a new and updated line of sparkling waters with more flavors and packaging choices than ever before.
In February, the company introduced its entirely new sparkling portfolio for its six beloved Regional Spring Water brands - Poland Springs, Deer Park, Zephyrhills, Ozarka, Ice Mountain and Arrowhead - with new flavors, a brand-new bottle design and packaging, and the introduction of 12oz cans to meet all consumption occasions and consumer preferences.
Nestle Waters is already a leader in the sparkling category with premium brands Perrier and S. Pellegrino and mainstream Regional Spring Water brands. While its premium sparkling brands have enjoyed strong year over year growth, the company has not placed an emphasis on sparkling offerings for its Regional Spring Water brands until now.
According to Euromonitor, the sparkling water category grew 70 percent from 2011-2016. "Following rapid growth over the past few years, the sparkling category is now mature enough for us to make a significant investment in developing this extensive line of mainstream sparkling offerings from our regional spring water brands, each of which is the top-selling still spring water brand in its market," said Antonio Sciuto, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Office for Nestle Waters North America.
The Regional Spring Water Sparkling portfolio provides consumers with a selection of great tastes, with the introduction of all new flavors based on consumer insight and testing. A total of ten flavors are available - Lively Lemon, Lemon Lime, Zesty Lime, Orange, Triple Berry, Summer Strawberry, Raspberry Lime, Black Cherry, Pomegranate Lemonade, and Simply Bubbles.
In addition to its new flavors, a key differentiator of the Regional Spring Water Sparkling portfolio is the use of real spring water as its primary ingredient. The Regional Spring Water sparkling offerings are made with water from natural springs, natural fruit flavors and added bubbles, and are, like always, free of calories with no sugars, sweeteners or colors - just a refreshing and delicious taste.
"As consumers increasingly choose healthy beverages over sugary soft drinks and juices, they are looking for exciting new options. Now is the time to give millions of Americans the sparkling product they have been missing - combining the regional spring water brands they love with delicious natural flavors and added bubbles in both bottles and cans," said Sciuto.
Beginning in February at retailers including supermarkets, club stores, convenience stores and chain drug stores, consumers will discover exciting new packaging features in the Regional Spring Water Sparkling portfolio such as:
- Proprietary bottle design - a sleek, elegant PET bottle design that resembles vintage glass, is more comfortable to hold and highlights the movement of sparkling bubbles
- Eye-catching label - more prominent branding and fruit imagery, as well as a new colored cap to accentuate visual brand cues and distinguish from competitors
- Bold new case pack visuals - vibrant and colorful fruit graphics designed to capture attention on shelf and highlight flavor varieties
- Cans with colorful fruit graphics - offering 12 oz. cans, preferred by some customers, in all markets
- Rainbow packs - popular flavor combinations in 24-pack bottles and cans to encourage flavor trial
With these dramatic changes, Nestlé Waters hopes to nearly double the number of Regional Spring Water Sparkling households by 2020 as compared to the number of households in 2016.Nestlé Waters was the first to introduce sparkling water to the mainstream in the 1980s with the introduction of Perrier® Sparkling Natural Mineral Water in the U.S. Many of its Regional Spring Water brands also have long heritage, such as the Poland Spring® brand, which dates back to 1845. Because of this rich history with water, Nestlé Waters is uniquely positioned to tap into the growing sparkling market.
"Consumers are choosing sparkling water at an unprecedented rate," said Sciuto. "We already have great equity in our Regional Spring Water brands, and we hope that, as our existing customers enter the sparkling category, they will choose our brands first. With our ten great flavor options, they now have a whole new way to enjoy the spring water they love."
Nestlé Waters plans to make a significant advertising and marketing investment to support the new Regional Spring Water Sparkling campaign, details of which will be announced later this Spring.
