About this spirit

Carpano Punt e Mes is introduced as a bold and characterful Italian vermouth that bridges the line between sweetness and bitterness with effortless style. Its name, meaning “point and a half”, reflects the precise balance of one part sweetness to half a part bitterness, giving it a distinctive profile that stands apart from classic red vermouths. Deep mahogany in colour and rich in aromatics, it brings depth and complexity to cocktails while remaining compelling enough to enjoy simply over ice. Its assertive flavour makes it a favourite among bartenders and enthusiasts who appreciate a more intense, bittersweet apéritif. On the palate, Punt e Mes delivers an immediate hit of dark caramel and spiced sweetness, followed by a rising wave of herbal bitterness that defines its signature character. Notes of orange peel, gentian, wormwood and warm spices weave through the flavour, creating a layered and lingering taste. The aroma carries hints of dried fruit, cocoa, citrus zest and aromatic herbs, offering a preview of the complexity to come. Its finish is long, pleasantly bitter and beautifully balanced, making it an excellent choice for Negronis, Americanos or simply served with a twist of orange.
