My comment:

No, UK people would not understand the term nor would they make much sense of many foreign recipes without descriptions.

I think the port sauce can have many variations, so both in Italian and English a description would be necessary in both cases.

My comment:

As far as I know, that is not a typical Italian dish, so I would translate it.
You can choose whether to say just "Duck with Port wine" or "Duck with Port Wine Sauce", depending on what the dish is like.
