Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2021 Barolo DOCG

Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2021 is de klassieke Barolo van dit beroemde domein in Bussia, gemaakt als pure vertaling van de heuvels rond Monforte d’Alba. De familie Conterno werkt hier al generaties, met vandaag de dag de zonen van Aldo aan het roer, die de stijl verfijnen zonder de traditionele ziel los te laten. Is Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2021 een bewaarwijn? Ja, deze Barolo is gemaakt om tientallen jaren te rijpen en wordt in de professionele fiches aangeduid met een bewaarpotentieel tot ver na 2047.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven komen uit Italië, uit Piemonte, uit de gemeente Monforte d’Alba en specifiek uit de cru Bussia, het historische hart van Barolo voor Aldo Conterno. De wijngaarden liggen rond 400 m hoogte op heuvels met een mix van kalkrijke mergel en lagen zand, een combinatie die zowel structuur als finesse aan de Nebbiolo geeft. Bussia is al sinds de jaren 20 de thuisbasis van de familie, en vormt ook nu nog de kern van het 25 hectare grote wijngoed rondom de boerderij en kelder van Poderi Aldo Conterno. De stokken zijn aangeplant met de klassieke Nebbiolo-klonen Michet en Lampia en worden dicht op elkaar gezet, met lage opbrengsten en veel handwerk in de wijngaard. De oogst vindt in de tweede helft van oktober volledig met de hand plaats, met strenge selectie in de wijngaard, zodat alleen perfect rijpe trossen in de kelder belanden.

Vinificatie en rijping

Na de handmatige pluk worden de druiven ontsteeld en vergist in horizontale roestvrijstalen tanks, een type cuve dat het domein al jaren gebruikt om zacht maar efficiënt te kunnen inweken. De schilmaceratie duurt in de regel 2 tot 3 weken, afhankelijk van het jaar, en bouwt stap voor stap kleur, aroma en tannines op zonder dat de wijn hard wordt. Daarna blijft de jonge wijn nog 4 tot 5 maanden in roestvrij staal, waar hij meerdere keren wordt overgestoken om te klaren. Vervolgens gaat Barolo Bussia 2021 in grote Slavonische eikenhouten vaten, waar hij ongeveer 26 tot 28 maanden rijpt. Deze lange opvoeding op groot hout geeft de wijn zijn klassieke Barolo-structuur, met een rustige ontwikkeling van aroma’s zonder dominante houttonen. Na de vatrijping wordt de wijn gebotteld en rust hij verder op fles voordat hij wordt vrijgegeven. Het alcoholpercentage ligt rond 14,5%, in balans gehouden door de stevige zuren die zo kenmerkend zijn voor Nebbiolo uit Monforte.

Druivensamenstelling

Nebbiolo – Bussia, Monforte d’Alba
Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2021 is 100% Nebbiolo, voornamelijk van de klonen Michet en Lampia, afkomstig uit de eigen wijngaarden in Bussia op kalkrijke mergel met zandlagen; deze combinatie geeft intens rood en zwart fruit, stevige maar verfijnde tannines en een duidelijke mineralige ruggengraat.

Proefnotities en serveertips

In het glas toont de wijn een diepe robijnrode kleur met transparante randen. In de neus vind je klassieke Nebbiolo-aroma’s van rozen en viooltjes, kers en pruim, aangevuld met indrukken van leer, tabak, specerijen en een subtiele citruszeste. In de smaak is Barolo Bussia 2021 vol en intens, met een kern van rood en donker fruit, levendige zuren en stevige maar fijnkorrelige tannines die voor lengte en structuur zorgen. De afdronk is lang en schoon, met aanhoudende tonen van kersenschil, kruiden en een licht zout-minerale toets. Serveer deze Barolo idealiter rond 16 tot 18 °C en geef jonge flessen minstens 2 uur in de karaf zodat het bouquet volledig kan openen. Aan tafel is hij op zijn mooist bij rijke gerechten als paddenstoelenrisotto met truffel, gestoofd rundvlees, wildgerechten of gerijpte harde kazen, waar zijn combinatie van kracht en verfijning volledig tot zijn recht komt.

A letter of Gratitude to Irv Yalom for Creatures of a Day.
Format: Hardcover
Dear Irv Yalom, This letter is a declaration of gratitude for your newly published book, Creatures of a Day, and the artful legacy you’ve bestowed upon the field of psychotherapy. In the era of fast technology and mass production, your attention to relationship and the handcrafted nature of therapy is a life line. In all of your 50 years as a psychotherapist, you didn’t sell out for clinical blueprints and formulaic approaches. Instead, you opted to stay true to what you knew--the here and now, the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and your own internal thoughts and experiences as essential elements for your work with clients. Creatures of a Day waves a flag and asks us to take notice. It invites us back into the mystery of our work and reminds us to celebrate our humanness. Your masterful story telling allows us to see you and your clients in action, mistakes and vulnerabilities included, and shares pivotal moments that will provoke thoughtful learning for generations of therapists. So thank you for this. You show us your mistakes You see, your books (especially Love’s Executioner and Creatures of a Day) let us into your thoughts and experiences. We get to hear you talk to yourself and occasionally grapple with doubt. We get to know your own vulnerabilities and how they influence your therapeutic relationships. This is such a rare view. And I am hungry for it. There are too few books, too few videos, and fewer workshops or trainings that offer this kind of perspective for therapists. We don’t get to see masters make mistakes. We don’t get to hear supervisors or consultants narrate their doubts. So, I consider your book an invitation to write about my own similar encounters in my work. And to continue to make this kind of conversation central to my trainings and retreats for therapists. Thank you for the inspiration and the permission. You offer central themes and an individualized perspective As a collection of psychotherapy tales, I think of Creatures of a Day as a series. Like a series of paintings that are created around central themes, your tales invite us to look at the existential themes of aging, death, and connectedness. And, just like a painting series, each reader will take with them a message that is individualized and of unique importance to him/her. In this way, you are truly exhibiting your art as a writer and a psychotherapist. In Creatures of a Day, two patients read the same book and take from it a very different, but beautifully applicable, message. A nurse perceives the angry words she hissed to her dying patient completely opposite of the way in which they were received by the woman she was treating. And a case that you filed away as a blunder turns out to have been a life changer that is only revealed about a decade or so later. This is a reminder to me that while we can’t predict how our art is received, we can in fact commit to creating and collaborating in the very best way we can. You invite humanness and the art of relationship I’d like to let you know that in addition to the invitation to write about my experience as a therapist, I welcome your permission to be human with my clients. And, with that comes a renewed dedication to knowing and experiencing what being human is for me. This means deepening my relationship with my art, continuing my work in therapy, and showing up with the same honesty and openness that you let us see in your book. You make risk a good thing You ask your patients to risk and use this in as a very important subject during the course of treatment. You take several risks in Creatures of a Day, and show us that risks are a vital part of being an authentic and real therapist. You show us that in your work you are just being honest and attending to your experience and the client’s experience. In fact it is more risky to be untruthful or hide than it is to show up and attend the the relationship. You inspire me I won’t stop practicing. You inspire me to continue to write about my own work. And in my own small way, carry your legacy forward. Once again, thank you for your guidance, your influence, and your legacy. Lisa Mitchell, MFT, ATR, LPC www.innercanvas.com

Short book, big recommendation!
Format: Hardcover
Great book, smooth read that is not overly technical for those who aren't therapists themselves. Examines large existential questions in a digestible format with each chapter being a different real world story. Highly recommend.

Yalom as always, but fizzing out.
Format: Hardcover
When entering the field of psychology, I was first introduced to Yalom. As I look back on my early career, I realize that he has influenced my thinking more than I'd like to admit. His focus on relationships and death anxiety are central in this work, as they were in the past. You get a real sense of how he works and we are invited into the intimate and sacred corners of his office and his mind. However, his depth - his use of metaphors and his robust explanations are declining. He is still a profound and articulate writer but I have noticed a drop off in his writing that began with the Spinoza Problem and continues here. Ironically, Yalom is fading, his writing abilities are dying - which makes his own wrestling with his mortality even more visceral to me as a reader. I continue to be thankful for his insight and work.

Another great book by an exceptional writer and story teller.
Format: Hardcover
One day I was strolling through a bookstore and saw a novel by Irvin Yalom titled "Lying on the Couch". The fact that it was written by a psychiatrist with a private practice who was also a professor at Stanford University intrigued me. I wasn't expecting much from the book other than a light read but to my (delightful) surprise, the story had great depth and Dr. Yalom proved to be an excellent writer and story teller. So much so, that I have since read every book he's written. You don't have to be a student of therapy or a therapist to appreciate this book or any other by Dr. Yalom. His writing speaks to everyone and leaves everyone with a gift of personal insight. There are many good writers but only a few great ones. Dr. Yalom is among the greats. He is wise, humble, and deeply honest about his own struggles with the big questions in life. If you haven't met Dr. Yalom, I urge you to read any one of his books. You won't be disappointed!

Don't miss out!
Format: Kindle
Though I knew of Irvin Yalom's books, I somehow missed reading any of them before, during or after my licensure as a mental health professional. "Creatures of a Day" is my first Yalom book, but with certainty, I can say that it won't be my last. For if his previous books are half as good as this one... they'll all be worth reading. Creatures of a Day contains ten "portraits" of clients and Yalom's work with them. Portraits is the right word since the descriptions are so vivid and compelling that one might actually feel they're in the room watching Yalom and the clients do the dance of therapy. The topics of death and meaning in life connect the stories as one might expect from a humanist/existentialist therapist. More than one of the stories were sadly sweet and brought tears to my eyes as I read... yet I could not put down the book and read it within just a few sessions. As a therapist, who also eschews diagnosis and manualized treatments, seeing a master therapist at work was invaluable. And surprisingly, Yalom doesn't gloss over the "mistakes" he makes or focus only on his expertise. This book more than anything shows the power of moments that matter, the healing connection that can happen when one person fully meets another where they're at. All therapists should read this book, but it shouldn't be limited to professionals. Everyone will relate to these stories and the people they depict so humanly well... Don't miss out on Yalom's work, especially "Creatures of a Day."
