Description
Lo Scorbutico – Poggio Grande
Lo Scorbutico by Poggio Grande, located in the heart of Castiglione d’Orcia, is a refined Orcia Rosso DOC that fully expresses the strength and elegance of authentic Tuscany. A wine with a bold personality, produced mainly from Sangiovese grapes enriched with small amounts of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, combining structure, finesse, and remarkable aging potential.
With its deep ruby-red color, the bouquet reveals complex aromas of blackberry, ripe cherry, and wild berries, followed by elegant spicy notes of juniper, tobacco, cocoa, and vanilla.
On the palate, it is warm, enveloping, and harmonious, with lively yet balanced tannins softened by pleasant smoothness and a mineral freshness that leads to a long, persistent finish. The name “Scorbutico” reflects its initially vibrant and bold character, typical of great Tuscan red wines destined to evolve beautifully over time.
Perfect paired with handmade pici pasta with wild boar ragù, grilled red meats, game dishes, Tuscan crostini, and aged pecorino cheese. An authentic wine of great personality, ideal for those seeking the excellence of the Orcia DOC territory.
