Joel Schaefer Nov 3, 2013:
@Sara Your reference seems to be to a business in the town of Noble, Oklahoma. Nothing to do with "nobile". I stand by my statement.

game

"Con il pollame nobile (anatre, piccioni, faraone, ecc.) è consigliabile abbinare vini rossi di buon corpo e grande bouquet."

That's duck, pigeon and guineafowl in case you're not sure.

Sorry, strictly speaking that should read gamebirds. Cacciagione is game as a whole.

Wikipedia says: La selvaggina (o cacciagione) è costituita da ogni genere di fauna selvatica che è obiettivo dei cacciatori. So selvaggina = cacciagione = game.
Note from asker:
Phil, that figures, but where does that leave "selvaggina" then? I thought that selvaggina was game birds. Or is it the same thing? I'm totally confused!

white-meat poultry

In the context, this means "non-chicken poultry" since non-farmed or "harvested" game birds are covered by the following terms.

"Non-chicken" sounds a little prosaic for a wine description, though. You could substitute it with "white-meat poultry", a positive-sounding term that can include most farmed and some harvested species of poultry (see references).
