Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionPreheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
Heat oil in a wide 5- to 6-quart ovenproof heavy pot over medium heat until it shimmers, then lightly brown roast on all sides with juniper berries and herbs, 8 to 10 minutes total.
Add garlic and sprinkle roast with sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then cook until garlic is golden, about 1 minute.
Pour wine over roast and briskly simmer until reduced by half.
Pour milk over roast and bring to a bare simmer.
Cover pot and braise in oven, turning roast occasionally, until tender (milk will form curds), 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Transfer roast to a carving board and loosely cover.
Strain juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl (discard solids), reserving pot, and skim off fat.
Return juices to pot and boil until flavorful and reduced to about 2 cups.
Season with sea salt and pepper.
