Hello,

where in Abruzzo?
the best advice would come the Coltivatori Diretti office, which is te farmer organisation, but be careful as grants=vultures.
I know there are grants for walnut trees but it ties land for 15-20 years.
As for vineyards, I would have to look that up.
Drop me an e mail at dipietropaolodario@tin.it and I'll see if I can dig anything up (which is contradictory because you want to plant).

bye,

Dario
