does this boot have insulation layer? My worries are if it can handle extremely freezing weather (below -20 C).

These boots don't have an insulation layer I would not use these boots for that cold unless you have some really good overboots. They're a moderate-cold boot, not an expedition boot.

I went to La Sportiva's website (www.lasportiva.com) to look this up, but I couldn't find out about the insulation, but from looking at La Sportiva's info and the info on backcountry's page, it looks like this is a minimally insulated boot. -20C (-4F) would likely be too cold. If you were moving fast and your boots weren't laced so tight as to impede circulation, you might be ok, but at a standstill, I don't know how comfortable your feet would be. I would move to a more insulated boot like the Nepal EVO or the Lhotse GTX.
