there are convenient buses (about 10 Euros) such as Flixbus or BusCenter. These will directly arrive to Trieste (close to the train station). You should buy a ticket in advance from their website. Please check the departure location (it might be few hundred meters from the airport).
There are also shared taxis (the price largely depends on when you reserve them, if weeks in advance it might be 20 Euros - up to 100 Eur): Goopti, ScienceBus. They typically run to Trieste train station but for a small extra they can take you closer to your hotel.
Finally, the local transportation: Express bus to Mestre (~8 Euros - tickets can be bought also inside the airport) and Train from Mestre to Trieste (see the link to the Trenitalia website below ~15/20 Euros).
