Product Description
Cited as a benchmark and classic version of vermouth by the Oxford Companion to Wine, Punt e Mes (Poont eh Mehss) is one of the world's most popular red vermouths.
Not overly cloying like the many commercial vermouths, it can be served straight up, used to make red Martinis, mixed with gin to make classic Italian cocktails like Negronis and Americanos, and it is also excellent when served with fruit juices, sparkling mineral or tonic water.
With an aroma of wormwood and hints of bitter herbs, Punt e Mes is a vermouth in its finest form.
Its name ("point and a half") in the dialect of Turin, came from the day when an absent-minded stock exchange agent called out the trading floor term in old man Antonio Carpano's bar, asking for a vermouth with a half-dose of bitters. The concoction that evolved as Carpano Punt e Mes, is coffee-coloured, and based on white wine aromatised with a secret recipe of dozens of herbs and spices.
Served over the rocks with a splash of soda, it is exotic in a surprising way: first a taste of cola-like sweetness, then sharply bitter at the back of the tongue, with a complex web of tastes in between.

For some reason this is hard to find - even in high end wine shops. Great with lots of ice - either on its own or with tonic/slice of orange/lemon. Totally more-ish - beware.
Apart from cider this is my only alcoholic tipple and I'm devoted to it. It is an aperitif, not quite as sweet as a red Martini, having a herby taste and hint of bitters in the background. Everyone I've introduced to it has enjoyed and the only problem is tracking it down.Oddbins stopped stocking it about 3 years ago and few of the high st chains have heard of it. It is worth the effort searching and I was happy to find it sourced on Amazon, having finished my last bottle at the start of the year. This really is an excellent aperitif, try it!
