'''Ottavio Ottavi''' (15 August 1849 – 12 January 1893) was an Italian [oenologist](/source/oenologist).

==Biography==
Ottavi was born in [Sandigliano](/source/Sandigliano). His father Giuseppe Antonio Ottavio was an [agronomist](/source/agronomist),<ref>Félix Sahut, ''Les vignes américaines: leur greffage et leur taille'' (Monpelliers: Camille Coulet; Paris: A Delahaye et Lecrosnier, 1887), p. 503.</ref> 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.<ref>Coulet, pp. 509 and 714.</ref>

He was the author of various treatises 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](/source/krumiro), a type of biscuit created in [Casale Monferrato](/source/Casale_Monferrato), the town where he largely lived and where he died in 1893.
