Wine List

Etna Bianco — North & Northwestern Slopes

Where Etna’s most defined expressions take shape.

The northern slope of Mount Etna is home to high elevation vineyards. Younger volcanic soils and different temperatures give these wines tension, clarity, and balance.

The whites here are structured and mineral-driven; focused, expressive, and never heavy.

Etna Bianco — Eastern Slope

Where Mount Etna meets the Ionian Sea.

The eastern side of Etna is cooler and greener, shaped by sea air and rain. The vineyards look toward the water, and you can taste it: vibrant, mineral-driven wines with quiet power.

This is home to Etna Bianco Superiore from Milo, where Carricante finds its most expressive voice. Whites marked by energy, salinity, and wonderful acidity.

Etna Bianco — South-Western Slope

Where the mountain softens.

The south-western slope of Etna is shaped by older, decomposed volcanic soils and gentle alluvial influence. These vineyards see more warmth and less severity, producing whites that are aromatic, expressive, and inviting.

The wines lean floral and open, with a relaxed energy; joyful without being simple.

White Sicilian Wines (Beyond Etna)

The rest of the island, in the glass.

Sicily is a mosaic of climates, traditions, and flavors. Beyond Mount Etna, white wines take on a sunlit, expressive character—deeply tied to everyday life.

These are some of our favorite whites from across the island.

Italian Whites

Beyond Sicily, the same values.

Across Italy, great white wines share a common thread: clarity, balance, and a deep connection to food.

These bottles come from producers we admire for their integrity and restraint, making wines that evolve and reward attention.

International Whites

Familiar grapes, thoughtful expressions.

These wines come from outside Italy, but share the same philosophy we value: clarity, energy, and balance.

Familiar varieties, interpreted with care.

Sicilian Sparkling

Volcanic bubbles, meant to be shared.

Bright and expressive, shaped by sun and volcanic soil, Sicilian sparkling wines bring energy to the moment—easy to open, easy to enjoy. All made in the traditional method.

Rosé

Bright, food-friendly, and always welcome.

In Sicily, rosé is about ease; fresh, expressive wines that belong at the table. Vibrant, mineral, and balanced, they move effortlessly through the meal.

Orange

White wine, with a little more depth.

Fermented with their skins, these wines gain texture and gentle grip. Fresh yet layered, and quietly compelling at the table.

Champagne & Italian Sparkling

For moments worth pausing for.

Some bottles don’t need an introduction, but they do deserve the right setting. Chosen for their elegance and precision, these sparkling wines elevate the table without taking it over.

They bring energy and a sense of occasion, without formality.

Open one when it feels right.

Etna Rosso — North & Northwestern Slopes

Where Etna’s most precise reds take shape.

The northern slope of Mount Etna is home to the mountain’s most celebrated vineyards. Younger volcanic soils, shaped by recent lava flows, give these wines tension, minerality, and fine-grained structure.

The reds here are focused and expressive, with elegant tannins and remarkable balance—often compared to Burgundy or Barolo, not for power, but for precision.

They age beautifully and pair effortlessly with food.

Etna Rosso — East & South-Eastern Slope

Where Etna shows its warmth.

The south-eastern slope of Mount Etna receives the most sun, creating a warmer, drier growing environment.

Reds from this side of the mountain are deeper and more expressive, with firmer tannins and a generosity shaped by extended sunlight.

These wines carry more weight on the palate, yet remain balanced by altitude and volcanic soils. Powerful without being heavy.

Etna Rosso — South-Western Slope

Where altitude brings balance.

The south-western slope of Mount Etna is defined by high-altitude vineyards, many rising above 3,000 feet.

Older, decomposed volcanic soils and cooler air temper the sun, resulting in wines with balance, aromatics, and a softer expression of tannin.

These reds are elegant and approachable, offering lift and freshness alongside depth. Composed rather than forceful, and well suited to long meals.

Red Sicilian Wines (Beyond Etna)

The rest of the island, in the glass.

Beyond Mount Etna, Sicilian red wines take on a broader, more varied character. Expressive and grounded, they’re deeply tied to everyday life.

These are some of our favorite reds from across Sicily, chosen for their warmth and their ability to bring people together.

Piemonte Reds

Tradition, depth, and time at the table.

Across Piemonte, great red wines are shaped by patience, long growing seasons, thoughtful farming, and a deep respect for terroir.

These bottles come from producers we admire for their balance, integrity, and ability to evolve over a meal.

Tuscan Reds

Tuscany has been a reference point for Italian wines for hundreds of years. Here we want to showcase producers and wines we believe have contributed to Italy’s ever-evolving landscape

Rest of Italy Reds

United States

Clarity, generosity, and expression.

These American wines favor restraint and balance; expressive without excess. From coastal Pinot Noir to structured Cabernet, they’re chosen for how naturally they sit at the table.

Spain

Tradition, tension, and time.

Spanish reds carry a deep sense of history—shaped by patience, long aging, and an instinct for balance. They offer intensity without excess, structure softened by time, and a natural rhythm at the table.

Rest of the World

Different landscapes, familiar intentions.

These wines come from diverse places, but share a common pursuit—clarity, balance, and expression rooted in terroir.

Chosen for how they sit at the table rather than sheer power, they offer a thoughtful perspective beyond Italy.

Dessert

Marsala

Sicily, distilled and unhurried.

Amari

Bitterness, balance, and a sense of home.

In Sicily, amaro is more than a digestif—it’s part of daily life, shared at the end of a meal as a quiet gesture of care. These bottles reflect a long tradition, chosen for their balance, character, and sense of place.

Does ’mina charge a corkage fee?

Corkage is $30 per 750ml bottle, limited to two bottles per party. Corkage is graciously waived with the purchase of a bottle from our cellar. To preserve the integrity and thoughtfulness of our wine program, we kindly ask that guests refrain from bringing wines currently represented on our list.

What kind of wine does ’mina serve?

Our list is built around Sicily, with Etna Bianco and Etna Rosso organized by the slope they come from, because the north, east and south-western faces of the mountain each make a different wine. Beyond Etna we pour whites and reds from across the island, along with a deep Italian selection and a smaller group of wines from France, Spain, California and South America.

How many wines does ’mina pour by the glass?

Twenty-two, across sparkling, rosé, white and red. Several of them are poured using the Coravin system, which draws a glass without pulling the cork, so we can offer rare bottles like Gaja Barbaresco and Vietti Monvigliero Barolo by the glass. Those selections are marked with an asterisk.

Does ’mina have non-alcoholic options?

Yes. We make spirit-free cocktails with the same care as the rest of the bar, and we carry a non-alcoholic Peroni.
