Punt e Mes is a legendary Italian red vermouth crafted by Carpano, the inventors of vermouth. This unique aperitivo combines sweet red vermouth with a distinctive bitter twist, thanks to the infusion of quinine—also found in tonic water. The result is a beautifully balanced drink with complex herbal, citrus, and orange peel notes.
Its name means "a point and a half"—one point of sweetness and half a point of bitterness—perfectly summing up its profile. Whether served neat over ice, with a slice of orange, or as a base in classic cocktails like the Negroni or Boulevardier, Punt e Mes offers depth, complexity, and true Italian character.
