Punt e mes

Punt e Mes (Piedmontese: [ˈpynt e ˈmɛz], "point and a half") is an Italian vermouth. It is dark brown in color and has a bitter flavor. The name may refer to the flavor being characterized as one ”point” of sweetness and half a point of bitterness, which is the "official story" of the producers.

It can be used as a substitute for regular rosso vermouth in such drinks as the Americano, Manhattan, Negroni, and Boulevardier. Punt e Mes has a strong, distinctive flavor, half-way between regular rosso vermouth and Campari. Punt e Mes was made by the Carpano family from Turin until 2001, when Distillerie Fratelli Branca of Milan bought it.
