Acqua Eva

What Acqua Eva does

Acqua Eva is the consumer brand of Fonti Alta Valle Po S.p.A., an Italian natural mineral water producer headquartered in Paesana (Cuneo), Piedmont. The company sources exclusively from Europe's highest natural spring at 2,042 meters altitude within the UNESCO-designated Monviso Biosphere Reserve, bottling water characterized by ultra-low sodium content (<0.00004%) and minimal mineralization (48 mg/L fixed residue). Operations are anchored by an automated bottling facility in Paesana, utilizing trigeneration combined heat/power systems, photovoltaic generation, an automated FIFO warehouse with natural cold bottling below 10°C, and a 30% recycled-PET (R-PET) production line.

The product portfolio spans multiple sub-brands and formats targeting distinct use cases: Everyday Eva PET bottles (1.5L down to 0.2L) for daily hydration, Premium and Classic glass lines (0.75L and 0.33L/0.375L) for hospitality and table settings, an R-PET sustainable variant, the Baby 0.33L sport-cap format approved by the Italian Ministry of Health for infant nutrition, and a secondary Fontanone source line. Revenue is generated primarily through retail and supermarket distribution across Italy, where Acqua Eva holds 6th position in the 1.5L natural mineral water format, supplemented by direct e-commerce sales of Premium glass via acquedilusso.it and nascent export activity signaled through TuttoFood trade show participation.

The business operates as part of the Rivoira Group under CEO Gualtiero Rivoira. Go-to-market combines mass-market media (TV on Mediaset and La7, radio on Radio Italia and Radio Kiss Kiss), digital and social campaigns (notably the May 2025 "Per me, per te, per tutti" launch), and an extensive event-marketing portfolio spanning sports (LNPB Serie B, Tour of the Alps, ATP Challenger Sanremo, Tennis Trophy FIT, ViaLattea ski resort) and music (Kappa FuturFestival, Radio Italia concerts, Kiss Kiss Way). The company holds ISO 14001, IFS Food, and BRC certifications, and formalized its environmental and social commitments by becoming a Società Benefit in 2023.
