ChicaGourmets! would like to invite you to a Sicilian dinner featuring the wines of Feudo Arancio. The winery is located in Sambuca di Sicilia in the Argrigento region of Sicily. Arancio Calogero Statella has 2,200 acres of vineyard land – the largest in Sicily – and all of its wines are estate-grown and bottled. The wines are all single-varietal and four of them have been listed as Best Buys by Wine Enthusiast.

Calogero Statella, Feudo Arancio’s winemaker since its Inception will be joining us and discussing his wines. His father, Antonino Statella, is one of the island’s most noted sommeliers and a restaurant chef-owner.


Orso’s has been a fixture in Old Town, serving fine Italian food for over 33 years.

Join us for a great evening of food and wine.
