Why is it masculine?

Latti is masculine in Italian because it derives from Latin "lac, lactis" (milk), which was a neuter noun in Latin but became masculine when Italian evolved, following the pattern where many neuter Latin nouns shifted to masculine gender in Romance languages. This is an exception to typical gender patterns rather than following a clear productive rule in Italian.
