Punt e Mes boasts a warm amber color and fragrant hints of herbs, balanced by bold notes of orange and a distinct bitterness from the quina. Its unusual name was quickly adopted by regulars at the wine shop, who would order it with a subtle gesture. While it can be enjoyed neat with a twist of orange zest, it also serves as an excellent base for classic cocktails like the MITO and Manhattan, or the iconic 70's Punt e Mes.
