Punt e Mes Carpano

Carpano's Punt e Mes is an aperitif obtained from the combination of vermouth and cinchona liqueur, whose history is legendary. It is said that in 1870 in the Carpano workshop a stockbroker ordered a vermouth laced with half a dose of cinchona liqueur using the expression "Punt e Mes" and since then the custom of ordering it with a typical gesture has spread which consisted in lifting the thumb in the air, a Punt, and drawing a horizontal line in the air with an outstretched hand, the Mes.

It is characterized by a dark red color with vermilion nuances. The aroma is reminiscent of the typical port wine, with hints of aromatic herbs, toffee and cloves. In the mouth it perfectly combines the intriguing citrus note typical of Carpano with the bitterness of the cinchona.

Excellent to drink neat, with ice or soda, it gives life to exclusive cocktails such as the Mi-To.
