Casa Mesa Bozzolo

The winery

Casa Mesa Bozzolo is a family project in Pueblecillo, in the municipality of Maule, beside Ruta 5 and on the banks of the Maule River. The family dates its winemaking tradition to 1850 and speaks of four generations; today it is led by its founder, Tomás Mesa Latorre, together with Fabián Mesa Latorre and Agustín Mesa Bozzolo. Part of its identity comes from Manuel Francisco Mesa Seco, whom the winery remembers as a poet, governor and winemaking pioneer, and whose verses appear on the back labels: Nirivilo evokes the village of that name in San Javier, Infiernillo an old railway station, and Falucho the boats that once carried cargo and passengers along the river.

The estate reports 10 hectares and says it harvests by hand, vinifies and bottles in its own cellar, without outsourcing any step. It describes regenerative management, with cover crops on and between the rows, oat sowing, organic fertilizer and the recycling of prunings, pomace and stems, and presents itself as certified under the Wines of Chile Sustainability Code. Its current line includes the Falucho Chardonnay, the Nirivilo Cabernet Sauvignon in reserva and gran reserva versions, the Infiernillo blend, of Carménère and Syrah, and Territorios, of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère. In 2025 it brought in the first harvest from its Merlot and Malbec vines. The wines are sold in its online store and at the winery's cellar door.

It can be visited every day with online booking, with departures at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 16:00 and 18:00. The Enoturismo Básico (basic tour) lasts an hour and a half: it covers the vineyard and the cellar and ends in the tasting room with two wines and an appetizer. The Enoturismo Premium is private, lasts two hours, is led by the founder or the agronomist, and includes four wines and seasonal activities in the vineyard; in winter, the estate invites you to join in the pruning. There is also a half-hour tasting, without a tour, Monday to Saturday. To stay over, the winery offers two small lodges (refugios) overlooking the vineyard and a two-story cabin with a kitchen, set among cherry and apple trees; it does not publish prices, which you ask for by phone or email. No restaurant is published.
