Punt e Mes (from Piedmontese: pont e mes [ˈpʊŋt e ˈmez], “[one] point and a half”) is an Italian vermouth. It is dark brown in color and has a bitter flavor. According to its producer, the name refers to the flavor being characterized as half a “point” of bitterness and one “point” of sweetness.
Punt e Mes was made by the Carpano family from Turin until 2001, when Distillerie Fratelli Branca of Milan bought it.
