The Labante Caves were formed thanks to the river coming from the San Cristoforo spring, which forms a small waterfall here. The spring has an average summer flow rate of around 11 liters per second and is used as a water and drinking supply. The San Cristoforo spring was discovered at the end of the 19th century and since 1986 it has also been used to power the aqueduct that supplies the municipalities of Castel d'Aiano and Vergato. https://www.lorenzotaccioli.it/grotte-di-labante/

They are the Calanchi di Montemaggiore, a trap from which it is really hard to escape when wet, but otherwise a passage of unparalleled charm, for the calanchi themselves and thanks to the vast inclined plane of the vineyards lying down to the east of the passage, an epiphany! As a dirt road it also represents a very valid connection between the area of San Lorenzo in Collina, San Martino, Pradalbino and the Samoggia Valley between Stiore and Savigno, thanks to the path that, among the vineyards of the Botti winery, descends into that valley from the Church of Montemaggiore.
