Description

Punt E Mes 750mL

Produced by Carpano in Piedmont, Italy, Punt E Mes is a classic Italian red vermouth created in 1870. The name translates roughly to “one and a half,” referring to its flavour profile of one part sweetness and half part bitterness. Crafted from a base of wine infused with a blend of herbs, spices, and botanicals including wormwood and quinine, it delivers a distinctive bittersweet character that sits between traditional sweet vermouth and amaro. It is widely used in classic cocktails such as the Negroni, Manhattan, and Americano, or served simply over ice with soda.
