Punt & Mes (1L)

Punt & Mes is a vermouth made by Carpano, known for its balance of bitter and sweet. The name is traced to 1870, when a stockbroker asked for his usual Carpano with an extra half measure of bitter, calling it 'Punt e Mes', a point and a half. Amber in colour, it has intense, complex aromas of aromatic herbs, spices, caramel and citrus. On the palate a pleasant bitterness is balanced by subtle sweetness, with notes recalling cinchona, orange peel and spices, followed by a persistent, refined finish. It can be served neat over a single ice cube or used in cocktails such as the Americano or Negroni.
