GI Nagano is a new regional brand for sake and wine produced in Nagano Prefecture, inheriting the principles of the Nagano Prefecture Designation of Origin Control system. Only products made from grapes grown within the prefecture and brewed, aged, and bottled in Nagano—meeting established quality standards and passing both chemical analysis and sensory evaluation—are certified as GI Nagano or GI Nagano Premium.
