Product description
Punt e Mes is an Italian vermouth. it is dark brown in colour and has a bitter flavour. Punt e Mess literally means "point and a half" in Piedmontese. It is said that is owes its name to a sudden raise of the stock market which greatly benefitted the Carpano distilleries, which then created the vermouth brand to commemorate the occassion. It can be used as a substitute for regular rosso vermouth in such drinks as the Americano, Manhattan and Negroni. Punt e Mes has a strong, distinctive flavour, half-way between regular rosso vermouth and Campari
