The hospitable Mottura family , who own this charming Renaissance manor house , also produces awardwinning , organic wines . At dinner , they pair each course with the perfect wine from their cellars deep underground . JDB recommends their delicious dessert wine , Muffo ( never exported !), and the chef ’ s wonderful cooking classes so appreciated by the guests . The hotel , whose name translates to “ the porcupine ’ s lair ,” is surrounded by verdant fields and vineyards and is halfway between Orvieto and Viterbo . The rooms are spacious and comfortable , and many are furnished with antiques from the family ’ s home in Piedmont . The nearby villages and towns are wonderful to explore as is Civitella d ’ Agliano itself which has a fascinating , ever-changing Contemporary Art Park .
