PInot noir is a "black grape" that would ultimately produces red wine.
Probably what you meant was other varietal from pinot "family". Pinot grape is very well known for their tendency to mutate resulting in various sub-varietals. Some of the whites of pinot are Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris (known as Pinot Grigio in Italy, or Tokay Pinot Gris in Alsace).
It is, however, possible to make "white" from Pinot Noir, similar to what they do with "white zinfandel", by not allowing the skin to contact with the must (as the case in Chamapgne).
