Profile & Story

Punt e Mes was created by the Carpano family in Turin and is produced today by Fratelli Branca Distillerie, founded in Milan in 1845. Its name -- "a point and a half" -- refers to the balance of a sweet vermouth base against a bracing dose of bitterness.

Tasting Notes

Bittersweet and herbal, with notes of orange peel, dried fruit, and quinine bitterness balanced against a rich, sweet base.
