It is known for the classic glass bottle wrapped in paper in which it’s always been sold: and in 2015 the mineral water Castello di Vallio has reached its 60th anniversary. It was infact 1955 when the Ministry of Health officially recognized the therapeutic properties of this water that flowed naturally in Vallio, a small village in Valle Sabbia located a few kilometers from Gavardo, which is one of the “doors” that lead from Brescia to Lake Garda. In the same year work on the construction of the first bottling plant also began, and in the 60s it’s been the turn of the spa, still frequented today for mineral water treatments in the season that runs from May to October.

So began the story of this mineral water of absolute excellente, which in addition to being low mineralized can boast an almost complete absence of sodium with good presence of calcium, magnesium and bicabornate. In addition, since then, Castello di Vallio water has been proposed to the consumer always and only exclusively in glass, considered the only material that can allow the maintenance of the therapeutic qualities of the water with, at the same time, obvious beneficial effects for the environment.

The 60th birthday has been celebrated not only with participation in Expo 2015, but also with a number of cultural and musical events at the Spa. The anniversary also boasted a new label for the bottle intended for the restaurant channel, where Castello di Vallio have seen an increase of 50% in sales.

The immediate future provides new, interesting investment in the spa, which is situated on a wooded area where the conditions of environmental integrity have been preserved through the years: a part of the structure will be dedicated to classrooms that will host the Brescia naturopathy school, with the aim to spread a culture of well-being based on alternative medicine and disciplines such as reflexology or “idrofangoterapia”, but also on great attention to food and, of course, on the water we drink everyday.
