Surfing around on the web I found some interesting articles about places you can easily visit while staying at Agriturismo Verdita:

Alba & Asti in 48 hours: http://www.italia-magazine.com/alba-and-asti-in-48-hours
Both cities are ca. 1 hour from our place.

Genova in 48 hours: http://www.italia-magazine.com/holidays/liguria/genova-in-48-hours
Genova is about 1 hour and 15 minutes from our agriturismo.

Guardian article

A Guardian article about walking holidays in autumn that also mentions Piemonte as interesting destination: http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2009/sep/05/walking-holidays-autumn

The hills of Italy's Piedmont region are thankfully on the gentle, rolling side
- conquerable for even the wooziest of ramblers, who have over-indulged on
the area's delicious barolo and barbera wines.
