Overview
Acqua Maniva is an Italian brand of natural mineral water produced by Gruppo Maniva SpA in Bagolino, in the province of Brescia, Lombardy. The water is drawn from Mount Maniva, in the heart of the Rhaetian Alps, whose hydrogeological structure gives the water its distinctive naturally alkaline pH of about 8, along with purity and lightness. The brand markets itself as an oligomineral alpine water that is "vital, alpine, alkaline" and positions itself around wellness, health prevention and a balanced lifestyle. The product range is broad and includes still and sparkling PET bottles, the PET Prestige line, and several glass formats: Vetro Vintage, Vetro Chef and Vetro Classic.

History
Acqua Maniva is a brand of natural mineral water produced by Gruppo Maniva SpA in Bagolino, in the province of Brescia, Italy. The water originates from Mount Maniva, located in the heart of the Rhaetian Alps, near the medieval village of Bagolino. According to the brand, the mountain's special hydrogeological conformation gives the water unique characteristics: alkalinity, purity and lightness. The water is described as an oligomineral natural alpine water with a naturally alkaline pH. An analysis of Maniva water carried out on 10 January 2010 by the University of Pavia recorded a dry residue at 180 °C of 98 mg/L, a pH of 8, a water temperature at the source of 8.9 °C and a hardness of 7.2 °f. These figures support the brand's positioning as a light, alkaline water. The brand distributes its bottles throughout Italy. Over time, Gruppo Maniva SpA has developed a range of packaging formats, including still and sparkling PET bottles, the PET Prestige line, and glass lines such as Vetro Vintage, Vetro Chef and Vetro Classic. A significant packaging development is the Smile-Box Maniva pH8, a fully recyclable Tetra Pak carton designed to preserve the properties and purity of the alkaline mineral water. The group has also promoted environmental initiatives under the "Maniva Loves the Planet" banner and has served as official water partner of Trentino Volley. Acqua Maniva is one of several brands of Gruppo Maniva SpA, which also includes Maniva bibite, Balda, VAIA, Mineral Seltz and Acqua classica Verna. The group presents itself as offering a wide range of products suited to every need and oriented toward well-being. The brand maintains an active online presence through its website and Instagram account, and publishes newsletters and product folders for consumers and partners.
