Short climb leading to the sanctuary of Villanova delle Grotte, above Tarcento; it was covered by the Giro d'Italia in 2022, in the Marano Lagunare - Castelmonte stage. The climb reported here begins at the junction for Villanova: to get there you already have to climb a bit, on fairly easy gradients, whether you come from Tarcento or Vedronza.
The altimetry here well describes the difficulties: it is 3 km rather even, with gradients always hovering around 10％. After 3 km, the road flattens out, and one last section remains, much easier. The climb reported here ends at the fork to Monteaperta, but the actual sanctuary is 500 meters beyond the fork.

Breve salita che conduce al santuario di Villanova delle Grotte, sopra Tarcento; è stata percorsa dal Giro d'Italia nel 2022, nella tappa Marano Lagunare - Castelmonte. La salita riportata qui comincia dal bivio per Villanova: per arrivarci bisogna già salire un po', su pendenze piuttosto facili, sia che si arrivi da Tarcento che si arrivi da Vedronza.
L'altimetria qui ben descrive le difficoltà: sono 3 km piuttosto regolari, con pendenze che oscillano sempre attorno al 10％. Dopo 3 km, la strada spiana, e resta un ultimo tratto, molto più facile. La salita riportata qui termina al bivio per Monteaperta, ma il santuario vero e proprio si trova 500 metri oltre il bivio.
