Two special events. Two ways to experience the world of Italian w**e at Acanto. 🍷🇮🇹⁠
⁠
On September 16, The Most Important Italian W**e 2.0 returns by popular demand, bringing together guest sommeliers for a lively debate—and tasting—centered around one big question: what makes a w**e truly “important”?⁠
⁠
Then, on October 7, join Beverage Director & Sommelier Torrence O’Haire and our chefs for The Southern Italian Table, a five-course, family-style w**e dinner inspired by the food, w**es, and traditions of Puglia and Basilicata.⁠
⁠
Seating is limited. Reserve your spot at acantochicago.com.
