Which province in the Cuyo Wine Zone is NOT one of the five large sub-regions found in Mendoza?

Understanding Mendoza’s sub-regions and how they fit within the Cuyo zone helps here. Within Mendoza province, the major viticultural areas commonly used to describe terroir are Maipú, Luján de Cuyo, Valle de Uco, San Rafael, and a couple of other recognized Mendoza zones. Famatina is not one of these Mendoza sub-regions; it refers to a geographic area in a different province within the Cuyo zone (La Rioja), not Mendoza itself. So, Famatina isn’t part of Mendoza’s five large sub-regions, making it the correct choice for “not one of the Mendoza sub-regions.”
