Pietroasa wine-growing region is characterised by their particular natural environment, such as climate, soil properties, and a human factor, deciding on the use of grapevine cultivars and viticulture practices. The database underlying this study includes climatic factors and indicators that are considered to be defining for the climatic suitability of a geographic area. They are: solar insolation (hours/1.04-30.09), annual average temperature (°C), the hottest month average temperature (°C), the sum of fractions of average daily temperatures above 10°C for the period from 1st April to 30 September (Σtu°C), average rainfall for the period from 1st April to 30 September (mm), the length of bioactive period (mm), the heliothermal index (IHr), the bioclimatic index (Ibcv) and the index of oenoclimatic aptitude (IAOe). Significant changes were noticed when comparing recent climatologic period (2010-2020) to the reference climatological period (1958-2009).
