Mazzei Wine Dinner Phuket at Benny’s – 21 October 2026
Mazzei Wine Dinner Phuket comes to Benny’s Cocktails & Grill on Wednesday, 21 October 2026 for an intimate one-night-only evening celebrating the wines of one of Tuscany’s most historic winemaking families.
Presented in collaboration with Wine Gallery, the evening will feature five Mazzei wines paired with a menu created especially for the occasion by Benny’s, accompanied by live jazz throughout the evening.
With only 30 seats available for sale, the dinner has been designed as a small and exclusive experience, allowing each wine and pairing to be presented properly throughout the evening.
Mazzei Wine Dinner Phuket: Five Exceptional Wines
The Mazzei family’s history at Castello di Fonterutoli dates back to 1435. Over the centuries, the family has become closely associated with Tuscan wine, particularly Chianti Classico, while also developing its Tenuta Belguardo estate in the coastal Maremma.
The wines selected for this dinner showcase several different expressions of the Mazzei portfolio, beginning with fresh, aromatic wines before moving into increasingly structured reds and culminating with Siepi 2020.
The Wines
Villa Marcello Prosecco Extra Dry
Treviso DOC, Veneto
85% Glera · 15% Pinot Bianco
Fresh and elegant, with apple, pear and floral notes and a fine, persistent perlage. It will be served on arrival alongside the evening’s reception canapés.
Belguardo Vermentino 2023
Maremma Toscana DOC, Tuscany
100% Vermentino
90 Points · Falstaff
A fresh and mineral expression of Vermentino from the Tuscan coast, with yellow peach, exotic fruit and a characteristic saline finish.

85% Cabernet Sauvignon · 15% Cabernet Franc

94 Points · Wine Spectator
Siepi is one of Mazzei’s most celebrated wines, bringing together the freshness and structure of Sangiovese with the richness and depth of Merlot. It will be the final wine pairing of the evening.
A Wine Pairing Menu Created Around the Wines
Rather than selecting wines to accompany an existing menu, the dishes for this dinner have been developed around the progression of the wines.
The evening begins with Parmesan and shiitake mushroom croquettes and tuna tartare crostini with Prosecco, followed by Hokkaido scallop carpaccio with Oscietra caviar paired with Belguardo Vermentino.
The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione will be served with pappardelle and slow-cooked wild boar ragù, followed by charcoal-grilled Ibérico Presa with Tenuta Belguardo.
The savoury menu concludes with Wagyu fillet, potato pavé, glazed shallot, black truffle and red wine jus alongside Siepi 2020.
Dessert takes inspiration from the classic Tuscan combination of cantucci and Vin Santo, reinterpreted at Benny’s with caramelized pineapple, warm Vin Santo custard and toasted almonds.
