ACQUA della MADONNA is an extrasensory experience. Imported from a 2000 year old spring located in romantic Castellamarre di Stabia, south of Naples, the waters have global appeal. The choice of popes, emperors and other dignitaries for centuries.
Before we talk about the actual beverage, we must give a 'hats off' to the makers of this sparkling water, for such fine product design. The bottle is elegant and rich looking and, as their displays proclaim, makes an excellent vase. Bottled at its natural source in Italy, ACQUA della MADONNA has a light, refreshing quality which many of its domestic competitors lack. It also has little to no aftertaste, which is often a difficult quality to come by in sparkling waters. We really enjoyed this beverage (and its package) and recommend it for a romantic dinner date, casual luncheon, or anything in between.

Matching Bottled Water With Food
The FineWaters Balance categorizes the "mouthfeel" of water based on the level of carbonization in five steps from Still to Effervescent, Light, Classic and Bold. This categorization is the basis of matching water with food in a fine dinig experience.
The Flavor of Bottled Water
When tasting water the most important factor in its overall integrated sensation we call flavor is the mouthfeel generated by the size, amount and distribution of the bubbles or the absence of it.
Temperature
There is nothing wrong with drinking water at almost any temperature but you should start paying attention and a little experimentation will revel a lot of epicurean delight in the consumption of water.
