There are three varieties of partridge in Italy. The most sought-after is the red-legged (pernice rossa), because it has the most delicate flesh and is the only variety which is still completely wild, and available from specialist suppliers only. The grey-legged (pernice grigia or star no) is less flavoursome and it is mostly raised on farms and sold commercially. The third type, the yellow-leg, can only be found in Sardinia, is similar to the red-legged variety and is equally delicious.
