Branca Punt E Mes 750 ml

Punt e Mes is a legendary Italian vermouth created in 1870 in Turin, now produced by the iconic Branca family. Its name—meaning “point and a half” in Piedmontese—refers to its unique balance of one point of sweetness and half a point of bitterness. Deep amber in color, this vermouth strikes a perfect harmony between rich, herbaceous flavors and a sharp, bittersweet edge, thanks to its infusion of over 40 botanicals. It’s a versatile, characterful aperitif with a bold profile that stands out in both classic and contemporary cocktails.

On the nose, Punt e Mes offers a complex mix of dried fruit, licorice, bitter orange peel, and aromatic herbs. The palate is full-bodied and bittersweet, with a lingering finish that’s both spicy and slightly earthy. It’s the bartender’s choice for giving Negronis, Americanos, or Manhattans a distinctive twist, but it also shines when served simply over ice with a slice of orange. Loved by vermouth enthusiasts and mixologists alike, Punt e Mes remains a timeless staple in the world of Italian aperitifs.
