Punt E Mes Aperitivo Originale 16% Vol. 0,75l
£13.43
Punt E Mes Aperitivo Originale is a traditional Italian aperitif with an alcohol content of 16% vol. and a bottle size of 0.75 litres. This unique aperitif was originally created in 1870 in Antonio Carpano’s bar in Turin and has had a remarkable history ever since. The curious origin story begins when a banker ordered a special aperitif during his lunch break. In his hectic working environment, he spontaneously called out “un punt e Mes”, which means “one and a half stock exchange points” in Piedmontese. As this individually created aperitif tasted so good, a new brand was born, which is now considered a classic among Italian aperitifs.
Today, Punt E Mes is made with a blend of the best Italian wines and 50 different herbs and spices, which gives it its distinctive and balanced bitterness. The aperitif is characterised by its complex aromas that combine both sweet and bitter notes. Punt E Mes is an ideal companion for aperitifs, but can also be used as a base for various cocktails.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the Punt E Mes Aperitivo Originale has a deep, shimmering golden-red colour. The aroma is intense and complex, with clear flavours of herbs and spices accompanied by a pleasant sweetness. On the palate, there is an exciting balance of sweet, fruity notes and a strong, spicy bitterness from the 50 herbs and spices. The finish is long and balanced, with a slightly bitter aftertaste that is typical of this aperitif and rounds off the flavour experience perfectly.
Punt E Mes Aperitivo Originale is ideal as an aperitif, ideally served with a piece of ice or as a base for classic cocktails such as the Negroni or Manhattan. This aperitif also goes perfectly with savoury snacks such as olives, tapas or antipasti.
