Punt e Mes (IT)
Alcohol: 16%
While Fernet Branca is a bitter liqueur from the Amado category, Punt e Me is a traditional vermouth from Piedmont. Italian vermouth is dark in colour and has a characteristic, slightly bitter to sweet taste. In addition to the main ingredient wormwood, other herbs and spices are used. The brand name can be translated as “a point and a half”. By this they mean that the recipe supposedly relies on half a portion of bitterness and a portion of sweetness. The Punt e Mes vermouth is often used as a substitute for regular red vermouth in cocktails such as Manhattan, Americano, Boulevardier and Negroni. Until 2011, Vermouth was produced by Carpano in Turin before Fratelli Branca took over the brand. Vermouth is most commonly enjoyed as an aperitif, although it shouldn’t necessarily be compared to Campari.
Price:
50ml – 5.00 EUR
100ml – 8.50 EUR
Carpano Rosso (IT)
Alcohol: 16%
The Carpano Classico Vermouth Rosso is a truly classic vermouth based on Antonio Benedetto Carpano’s original recipe. Its color derives from the 100% natural burnt sugar, which also gives the product an essential aromatic note. Like all Carpano products, this vermouth contains no artificial colors, preservatives or additives.
Tasting Note: Compared to the Antica Formula, the Carpano Classico Rosso has less intense citrus and vanilla notes, giving it a more “robust” character. Its spicy, citrusy notes combine with the typical vermouth notes, giving this classic vermouth its unique smooth taste.

50ml – 5.50 EUR
100ml – 9.50 EUR
