Fiuggi Sparkling Mineral Water 500 ml — Case of 24, Glass

A half liter of Fiuggi sparkling is the size that makes sense at lunch: enough for a plate of pasta and a salad, not so much that it goes flat on the table. The water comes from springs in the Ernici hills of Lazio, central Italy, near the town of Fiuggi.

Its mineral content is low, about 120 mg/L, and a pH of 7.6 keeps it close to neutral. The carbonation reads as lively but light, since there is little mineral weight underneath it. That makes it an easy match for delicate food: grilled fish, ricotta, spring vegetables, a lemony risotto.

Offices and cafés like the 500 ml glass format for individual service. At home, a case of 24 bottles covers a month of weekday lunches, shipped across the US from Long Island.
