95 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Displaying the more saturated color of the 2021 vintage (similar to 2017), the 2021 Impronte has a beautiful nose revealing ripe blackberry fruit, violets, and graphite, as well as a touch blue fruit coming through. Full-bodied, with its saltiness coming through on the sides of the mouth, its sweet tannins are also similar to the 2017s, but there seems to be more purity in the 2021s. (1/16/24)"

94 points James Suckling: "Quite reductive at first, it needs time in the glass or to be decanted. Then clove, bramble fruits and fresh mediterranean herbs emerge. Dense, full-bodied palate with almost zesty acidity and still tight, oaky tannins, yet it’s well balanced. Clove and licorice finish. Try after 1-2 years, but best in 10 years. (Jul 2024)"

93 points Decanter: "Impronte, sourced from the lofty Piastraia vineyard at 350 metres above sea level, offers an almost overripe nose of dark fruits, and a rich and glossy mouthful with plentiful tannins, succulent dark fruits, and spice and mint overtones. Broad and powerful, it needs time in the bottle to show at its best. Giorgio founded his eponymous estate in 2002 after growing up at his father's winery, Grattamacco, and graduating from enology school. Drinking window 2025-2033 (Aug 2024)"
