Premium Wine of Chile

About Us

In Mapudungun, the language of the Mapuche, a native tribe from the south and central and regions of Chile, “Longko Milla” means “head of gold”. In the central region of the country, the Loncomilla river borders at the Andes Mountains and ends in the Pacific Ocean. For thousands of years, this water has given life to the lands and survival to the Mapuches. Today, it irrigates the vineyards that have been cultivated in this priviliged valley.

In these lands is born “Longko Milla”, an innovation of the Balduzzi Family as tribute for this prodigious land and nature, and to the Mapuches that laid at this zone in the past. With Italian origin and 300 years of viticulture tradition, the family arrived to Chile in 1906. Since then, they continue with the passion and drive for making exceptional wine.
