Punt e Mes Vermouth

Punt e Mes is an Italian vermouth which is dark brown in color and has a bitter flavor. “Punt e mes” literally means “point and a half” in Piedmontese and owes its name to a sudden raise of the stock market (naturally, of a point and a half) which greatly benefited the Carpano distilleries, which then created the vermouth brand to commemorate the occasion.
