From Tuscany to Your Table: The Journey of Fonteviva Water

High in the Apuan Alps of northern Tuscany, a natural filtration process unfolds quietly beneath layers of ancient marble. Over many years, pure spring water travels through these mineral-rich formations, slowly refining itself into one of the lightest and cleanest natural mineral waters in Italy. This is where Fonteviva begins.

At Fonteviva, we are proud to bring this exceptional water from its untouched alpine environment directly to your table. Our journey combines heritage, geology, sustainability, and craftsmanship—every bottle represents the harmony of nature and modern Italian precision.

A Source Shaped by Time

The Apuan Alps are world-renowned for their marble—stone that has been sculpted into masterpieces for centuries. But this marble does more than define Italian art: it acts as a natural filter, gently purifying the water that flows through it.

As the water moves through these formations, impurities are removed, leaving behind:

  • Ultra-low mineral content (TDS ~48 mg/L)

  • Just 1 mg/L of nitrates

  • A clean, neutral taste

  • A naturally low sodium level

This unique composition is achieved without mechanical treatment or artificial intervention. What you taste is simply nature, perfected over decades of underground movement.

Bottled at the Source for Maximum Purity

To preserve its natural composition, Fonteviva is bottled directly at the source in Massa-Carrara, Tuscany. This ensures the water never loses its freshness, balance, or purity.

Every bottle—Still or Sparkling—is filled within metres of the spring, under strict quality controls and with complete traceability. The result is a mineral water that arrives exactly as it emerges from the mountain: clean, light, and naturally refreshing.

The Craft of Fine Italian Water

Fonteviva is designed to complement fine dining, wine programs, and premium hospitality environments. Its gentle profile makes it the ideal water to pair with delicate cuisine, where low mineral content allows flavours to shine without interference.

The Gold Still range offers a soft, neutral taste, while the Silver Sparkling presents elegant, refined bubbles that lift the palate without overwhelming it.

Both are presented in premium 750ml Italian glass—modern, recyclable, and crafted for the table.

Respecting the Land and its Legacy

Sustainability sits at the heart of Fonteviva.
We protect the natural environment surrounding the source by:

  • Supporting responsible extraction practices

  • Using fully recyclable glass packaging

  • Reducing transport distances by consolidating shipments

  • Partnering with hospitality venues committed to sustainable operations

Our goal is simple: preserve the purity of the Apuan Alps for generations to come.

Bringing Fonteviva to the UK and USA

After years of planning and preparation, Fonteviva is now launching in the UK and USA with growing demand from premium restaurants, hotels, and wellness-focused customers.

Each bottle that reaches your table carries the story of:

  • A 190-million-year-old marble mountain

  • A natural filtration process that cannot be replicated

  • A commitment to purity, quality, and Italian craftsmanship

From the heart of Tuscany to your home or restaurant, Fonteviva is more than water—it is a reflection of the land that shapes it.
