S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna, ambassadors of the Italian style and art of living across the globe and synonymous with the gourmet food and wine culture, are the main sponsors of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2012. This globally recognised and respected event showcases the leading trends and very best of global dining and is staged and organised by the British publication Restaurant magazine.
S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna, the two leading natural mineral water brands, have yet another opportunity to show the world how well they complement each other on the tables of the most renowned restaurants as they play the central role at this prestigious event in the company of the world’s most influential restaurateurs, finest chefs and international media. Each brand enhances the sophisticated flavours of food and wine in its own unique way: Acqua Panna is smooth, light and velvety, while S.Pellegrino is bright, sparkling and refined. Their undisputed affinity with the world of wines and high-quality catering makes S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna the Fine Dining water brands.
The countdown has begun. Soon the announcement of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants will be celebrated with a prestigious ceremony at London’s historic Guidehall on Monday 30 April. It is a milestone year for the event, as it celebrates its 10th anniversary.
For the second year running, the ceremony will be streamed live on the Fanpage of Finedininglovers, an international community for food enthusiasts. Here, foodies can take part in the biggest happening of the year and find out, in real time, which restaurant will top the list. Will Noma, the Danish restaurant that has won the title for two consecutive years under the direction of Renè Rezdepi, be able to hold its title? Or will it be surpassed by some new unexpected temple of taste? Each year, the list is compiled by the World’s 50 Best Academy, an influential group of over 800 international leaders in the restaurant industry (food critics, writers, chefs, gastronomes…) representing 27 regions around the world. They cast their votes according to their top restaurant experiences over the last 18 months, listing their choices in order of preference.

S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna exude the strong, charming values of their Italian origin. In addition to sharing a history of success, and an elegant, balanced taste, the waters now share a single logo, designed to combine the spirit of both products. It is underlined by a wave-shaped curve, with a solid line representing still water and a dotted line representing sparkling water.
Andreas Larsson, named the World Best Sommelier in 2007 has this to say about the brands: “Acqua Panna is a superbly smooth and velvety water with a great balance and soothing sensation, present without dominating; it caresses the palate and let the flavour of the food and wine linger. S.Pellegrino is a very clean and limpid water, marked by a vertical minerality due to the soil and the source; it gives great freshness and persistence on the palate and it’s ideal to be served on the fine tables of the world with great wines and dishes”.
