Barbera del Sannio is a red Italian wine grape variety that is grown in the Campania region of southern Italy. Despite the similarities in name and appearance, the grape has no close genetic relationship with the Piedmont wine grapes Barbera or Barbera bianca or the Sardinian wine grape Barbera Sarda and is, instead, more closely related to the Campanian varieties Casavecchia and Catalanesca and the Apulian grape Nero di Troia.
In Campania, Barbera del Sannio is often used as a blending variety that adds color and aroma notes to the wine but it is also permitted to be made as a varietal wine in Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) of Sannio.
Ampelographers believe that the first documented account of Barbera del Sannio was in 1844 by Italian botanist Guglielmo Gasparrini in his account of native plant life in southern Italy. Gasparrini used the old synonyms Lugliese and Lugliatica to describe the grape with Luglio being the Italian word for the month of July, a potential reference to the color change of veraison during the growing season when the hard white berries of the vine start to turn dark red. By 1875, the grape was known as Barbera, being described by ampelographer Giuseppe Froio as similar in appearance to the Piedmont variety.
We're going out on a limb
Our people are about to disown us now
Incrementally cahnge mentality
Speak of values miss the irony
What you once shunned
Is now what you seek
Three hundred sixty
And never miss a beat
Your people call my people
What's this? i'm skeptical
Success come knockin'
And we're dabblin'
See the circles that we travel in
Access babylon, access babylon
All access, yeah, but not quite
Your cast goes left but not allowed right
Force field limbo caught in mid strata
Funds evaporate so called friends scatter
Your people call my people
What's this? i'm skeptical
Success come knockin'
