Why is it masculine?

Sacchetto is masculine because it derives from Latin "saccus" (a sack or bag), which was a masculine noun, and the Italian diminutive suffix "-etto" preserves the gender of its root word. The diminutive simply added a cute or small connotation to the original masculine noun rather than changing its grammatical gender.
