Barbera d’Asti is very important for me, as my Grandfather
Guasti Clemente was one of the pioneers to bottle Barbera grape
and bring Barbera wines at the absolutely new high quality
level. Also my mother’s family winemaking traditions go way
back to pioneer Secondo Guasti, who emigrated to Claifornia in
1881, taking cuttings of Barbera, which already after decade
became the worl’d largest vineyars of this grape.
