What grows here
Duino Aurisina-Devin Nabrežina
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Where the white limestone cliffs of the Karst plateau plunge directly into the Gulf of Trieste, the harsh Bora wind and iron-rich red soils shape the extreme viticulture of Duino Aurisina-Devin Nabrežina. This dramatic coastal edge of Friuli-Venezia Giulia nurtures 15 protected denominations. Chief among them is Carso DOC, a wine born from vines dug into barren rock, and Tergeste DOP, an ultra-local olive oil shared with a zone of just 6 municipalities. Here, maritime breezes and continental drafts force roots deep into the limestone, yielding wines and oils of striking, saline minerality.
