You use "questo" like you use "this" in english.
So you use it when you specify that your are talking of a specific subject-object.
If you want to say "This apple is sweet" you would say.
"Questa mela è dolce". Because you are talking of a specific apple which is near you (i.e in your hands).

As a pronoun and NOT as an adjective here is an example:
-- questo (adjective) libro e` usato e costa 10, quello e` nuovo e costa 15.
Vuoi questo (pronoun for 'the book near me')
o quello (pronoun for 'the other book) ?
