Climate change are indisputable, and projections predict an intensification of the effects felt. Viticultural technologies must adapt quickly to ensure the unaltered quality of viticultural production. As a result, studies on the effect of climate change on the intensity of physiological and biochemical processes in the plant, on the quantity and quality of production have represented a priority for many research teams. The present study, carried out at the “Banu Mărăcine” Didactic Station of the University of Craiova, in a wine-growing area located in southern Romania, characterized in recent years by a high incidence of warm temperatures and unevenly distributed precipitation during the growing season, falls within this context. The research highlighted the reaction of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety in 2 years with different climatic profiles that influenced the rate of photosynthesis and transpiration, modified the length of the growing season and the dynamics of the accumulation of synthesized substances, and determined the quality and quantity of production. The results obtained can constitute reference points for establishing technological measures in the case of vineyard plantations affected by climate change.
