San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water 1 L — Case of 12, Plastic

The green bottle most people picture is glass, but San Pellegrino in 1 L plastic carries the same water at a fraction of the weight. It is sourced at San Pellegrino Terme, in the mountains of Lombardy, where the spring water spends decades underground and gathers a mineral load of 970 mg/L.

Expect a sparkling water with body. Magnesium at 55 mg/L and bicarbonate at 244 mg/L fill out the mid-palate, while the sulfates leave a dry, slightly bitter close that keeps you reaching for another sip. The pH of 5.6 reflects the carbonation. Plastic makes sense where glass is a nuisance: outdoor dining, boat days, catered buffets, the office fridge, conference breaks. It is resealable, so a bottle can last through an afternoon meeting.
