Saving an old vineyard in Italy Can you help?

help save 85 y.old vineyard that produces D.O.C. Freisa. Without funding it will be uprooted by law
This is a great photo of a vineyard worth saving. If you believe in the little guy and good Italian wine please find it in your heart to help this cause.  Save our vineyard   follow this link for more info.
We are Michela and Georg, a couple living in Italy. We are desperately trying to find funds to save our 2.5 acres, 85-year-old Single-Vineyard. If not, it will be uprooted by law and therefore lost forever.
Michela works from home as an editor for a publishing company, Georg teaches German part time as a Lecturer at Torino University and does some writing for children and translations. 
4 years ago we bought half of an old farmhouse in Moncucco Torinese, nestled in the hills of Monferrato 30 km south-east of Torino. These rolling hills form a wonderful landscape and are full of wine and history. So far we have managed to renovate only a part of our farmhouse but we had to stop any further work simply because the money is tight. But that is not why we are here! If you want to know more about our place, have a look at this article. Less than 50 meters from our house are the ruins of the castle of Pogliano already known at the beginning of the 13th century.

Together with the farmhouse came 2.5 acres of an old vineyard that produces Freisa-wine.
