Sanpellegrino Limonata

Sanpellegrino Limonata is an iconic Italian sparkling lemon beverage with a history dating back to the early 20th century. The brand's origins are rooted in San Pellegrino Terme, a town in the Italian Alps famous for its thermal springs. While the core mineral water was first bottled in 1899, the flavored fruit range was introduced in 1932 by Ezio Granelli, who launched the first orange soda (Aranciata). This Limonata variant continues that tradition, utilizing citrus juices primarily sourced from Sicilian lemon groves.

Today, the brand is a global symbol of 'Made in Italy' excellence. Production remains centered in Italy at several major facilities, including the historic site in Lombardy, ensuring the authentic Mediterranean character of the drinks. Ownership of the brand passed to the Swiss multinational Nestlé in 1997. As of 2025 and into 2026, Sanpellegrino operates as a key part of Nestlé’s premium water and beverage division, which has increasingly focused on standalone strategic growth while maintaining the brand's premium heritage and traditional Italian identity.
