We present predictions for W+W− production (with exact decays) that are next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) accurate and consistently matched to a parton shower. The matching is achieved by upgrading, with MiNLO, the NLO calculation of W+W−+1 jet production, in such a way that NLO accuracy is guaranteed for W+W− inclusive observables, and by performing subsequently a reweighting of the WWJ-MiNLO events, differential in the W+W− Born variables, to the NNLO results obtained with MATRIX.
