Punt e Mes Carpano

Punt e Mes di Carpano 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 shop a stock broker ordered a vermouth corrected 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 that consisted of lifting the thumb in the air, a Punt, and draw a horizontal line in the air with the hand extended, 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 cinchona.

Excellent to drink straight, with ice or soda, it creates exclusive cocktails such as Mi-To.
