Cedea Naturally Alkaline Still Water

The Dolomites, still — naturally alkaline, steady, constant. Cedea is born at 1,500 metres beneath the Marmolada, filtered through ancient Dolomite rock, and named for a Ladin goddess of life — the language of the valleys it comes from. It rises naturally alkaline, at a pH of 8.1, with 130 milligrams per litre of dissolved mineral: enough to hold a plate, never enough to interrupt one. This is the bottle the house reaches for when a table wants one water and no decisions. It does not perform. It holds — through an aperitivo, through a meal, through a long afternoon, without ever asking to be discussed. Its sparkling twin carries the same mountain, with a bead. The water that gets out of the way, gracefully. We do not score. We read. The Reading is how the house locates this bottle — four axes, written on the four petals of the mark. The Reading™ NOSE alpine ARC steady WEIGHT balanced STAY clean One to four petals, quiet to pronounced. A Reading is a location, not a grade. The bottle — 750 ml glass · still · 130 mg/L · the Dolomites, Italy. Read in — the Stem Zero Masterglass. The bowl gathers what little this water offers, which is the point. Serve — cool, never iced — around 54°F. Cold numbs a water this quiet.
