Add olive oil, salt, oregano, and black pepper; mash into a paste. Make 12 deep incisions a few inches apart in roast using a sharp knife. Pack seasoned garlic paste evenly into incisions and over roast. Transfer roast to a large bowl. Pour in red wine, covering roast completely. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Discard red wine. Place roast fat-side up in a roasting pan; cover with aluminum foil. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place roast in the preheated oven; reduce temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Bake until slightly pink in the center, about 4 hours. Increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Uncover roast and continue baking until fat is crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 1 hour more. Remove from the oven and let rest before carving, 20 to 30 minutes. Cook's Note: Substitute 3 tablespoons minced garlic for the cloves if desired.
