The variety name reflects its key features: "Ottofile" indicates the eight-row structure of the ear, "Rosso" means the red color of the grain, and "D'Albese" links the variety to the Alba region in Italy. The variety belongs to the flint corn group (Zea mays var. indurata) and is a subject of agrobiodiversity conservation.
The grain of this variety contains anthocyanins, phenolic acids, and carotenoids, attributed to its coloration. The product is used primarily in the food industry for the preparation of traditional products, such as cornmeal and crackers, due to its specific organoleptic qualities.

Green indicates countries where the variety is listed in the national catalogue and its seeds are authorized for sale. Expired registrations are marked separately: the variety was previously admitted, but sale is no longer permitted.
A single variety may be registered in different countries under different names. All records are consolidated into one profile based on the breeder's code—an internal number that is identical for the variety across all registries.
