Abisso del Vento, a 220 m deep and more than 2 km long cave located on northwestern slope of Cozzo Balatelli, consists of several superimposed tiers of galleries and big rooms joined by vertical shafts and is strongly controlled by tectonics.
This cave is characterised by the presence of terra rossa deposits and a large variety of carbonate speleothems. Terra rossa deposits consist of calcite, hematite, siderite, goethite, clay minerals, and minor quartz (Aricò & Vattano, 2007).
