Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Peel and mince three cloves of garlic, or use frozen garlic cubes.

Blend the minced garlic with a tablespoon of dried rosemary, salt to taste, and a pinch of black pepper.

Using a large knife, smash and mince the garlic to form a paste.

Pierce the pork loin roast in several places with a sharp knife.

Press the garlic paste into the openings of the pork loin.

Rub the remaining garlic paste over the rest of the pork loin along with 1/4 cup of olive oil.

Put the pork roast into the preheated oven and roast for about 2 hours until the pork is no longer pink in the center.

Turn the pork roast over periodically and baste it with the pan juices.

After 2 hours, insert an instant read thermometer into the center of the roast; it's done when it reaches 160°F.

Transfer the roast to a platter and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat half a cup of white wine in the pan on the stovetop.

Use a wooden spoon to stir and loosen the brown bits on the bottom of the pan.

Slice the roast before serving and pour some of the white wine and pan juices over the meat.
