S.BERNARDO
S.Bernardo represents the perfect union of quality, tradition and elegance. Its source originates in the Maritime Alps, at a height of 1,300 m, in a healthy and uncontaminated environment. Known since 1926 for its lightness and excellent organoleptic characteristics, since the 1990s it has also been an expression of Italian design, thanks to its unmistakable "Gocce" bottle, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Still today an icon of style. Distributed in the retail, ho.re.ca and door-to-door channels, it is available in a complete range of formats in glass, aluminium and 50% and 100% recycled pet. Since May 2015 it has become part of the Montecristo Group. S.Bernardo: long all-Italian tradition of quality and style.
