Ottavio Ottavi

Ottavio Ottavi (1849 – 1893) was an Italian oenologist born in Sandigliano. His father Giuseppe Antonio Ottavio was a noted agronomist,^[1] and his brother Edoardo, editor of the journal Il Coltivatore, was also seen as a significant figure in the development of nineteenth-century Italian viticulture.^[2]

He was the author of various tracts and monographs, including Enologia teorico-pratica (1898), and was the founder of the Giornale vinicolo italiano. His Inno ai Krumiri (1886) is a ‘hymn’ to the krumiro, a type of biscuit created in Casale Monferrato, the town where he largely lived and where he died.
