3 From the Alps... to Mount Vulture. A world of infinite and absolute purity. A unique, extraordinary and uncontaminated environment. A world that is part of Norda s nature, which is not easy to put into words. A journey that begins in the Alps in central Lombardy, taking in the Little Dolomites and continuing through the Central Apennines in the area between Tuscany and Emilia, before finally arriving at Mount Vulture in the Basilicata region. The Mountain is Our Strength The Water: pure and light water that Norda preserves and protects Daggio: This comes from one of the highest springs in Europe at a height of 1,935 metres, in Valsassina. Natural, just as it gushes out from Mount Foppabona, at a height of 2,200 metres, in the Orobic Pre-Alps. Tapped into, it is then conveyed to the plant in Primaluna (Lecco) through stainless steel pipes that are about 10 km. long, where, once bottled, it reaches our tables pure and light. Acquachiara: Crystalline water that comes from the slopes of Mount Baffelàn, at a height of 1,793 metres, in a hydrothermal area nested in the spectacular mountain chain of the Little Dolomites. It is bottled in Norda s plant in Valli del Pasubio (Vicenza). Ducale: Particularly light, it comes from a natural spring on Mount Zuccone, at a height of 1,421 metres, in the Apennines around Parma. It is bottled directly in Norda s ultra-modern plant in Tarsogno (Parma). Luna: Besides being a reminder of its place of origin (Primaluna), "Luna" is a poetical, simple and eye-catching name, which conjures up an idea of clarity and limpidity. It is bottled using the most modern processes at Norda s plant in Primaluna (Lecco) at the foot of the Grigna Settentrionale Massif, at a height of 2,410 metres, in Valsassina. San Fermo: This water comes from the Apennines in the area around Tuscany and Emilia and, more precisely, from Mount Pelpi, at a height of 1,495 metres. A spectacular setting made up of centuries-old forests and steep slopes that ensures the quality of the low-mineral-content water from the San Fermo Springs. Gaudianello: Effervescente Naturale Gaudianello water comes from the Basilicata region on the slopes of Mount Vulture (1,326 metres) a volcano that has been dormant for more than 30,000 years, at an average height of 630 metres, close to the lakes in Monticchio, in an uncontaminated area steeped in forests and far-removed from any urban settlements. Leggera: Ninfa Leggera also comes from the slopes of Mount Vulture at an average height of 720 metres. It maintains all the trace elements that are typical of volcanic rock and, at the same time, it can boast a delicate taste which ensures a well-balanced organoleptic composition.
