Guasti Clemente

Guasti Clemente – A Legacy of Quality

Following World War II, Clemente Guasti established a winery in Nizza Monferrato, located in the renowned Asti province of Piedmont. His innovative spirit transformed the local wine scene. He was among the first to label wines with the grape's origin, enhancing the reputation of the Barbera grape. Clemente also introduced the concept of Cru, emphasizing the significance of specific vineyard sites. His efforts led to the creation of Barbera di Cascina, now recognized as Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG.

Nizza DOCG Wines

After Clemente's passing, his nephew Enrico Piantato, bought the company from the sons of Clemente and he started again, applying the knowledge gained from his grandfather, to renovate the company, adding estate and elevating the quality. He also started to believe, like Clemente, in the Project of Nizza to identify exceptional Barbera vines in prime viticultural areas. Since 2014, his wines proudly carry the Nizza DOCG certification, ensuring that the grapes come from the finest vineyards. These wines have gained acclaim both in Italy and internationally.

In addition to Barbera, the estate cultivates Cortese, Dolcetto, Moscato, Nebbiolo, and Grignolino. The best grapes are handpicked to produce a variety of wines, including red, white, rosé, sparkling, and dessert options.
