Vera
Vera is a natural mineral water from the San Giorgio spring in the Dolomites, bottled in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. The brand is owned by Sanpellegrino Group (Nestlé Waters). The database notes field records only “S.” for the origin, which appears to be a truncation; the full location is identified from the notes as San Giorgio in the Dolomites.
