While you may not be able to tell from the nondescript green awning and kitschy mirrored sign above, this tiny corner bar is a Trieste institution and an absolute must for any fans of wine visiting the city. With some 600-700 different varieties lining shelves that almost reach the incredibly high ceilings, the focus is on vintages from the wine growing regions of Friuli Venezia Giulia and neighbouring Slovenia, but you can find bottles from around the world (a label from the Francis Ford Coppola winery in California caught our eye recently), as well as gregarious locals willing to share stories of the bar, the wine and old Trieste.
