Why is it masculine?

Sangui (blood) is masculine in Italian because it derives from Latin "sanguis," which was a masculine noun of the third declension, and Italian retained this grammatical gender from its Latin ancestor. The -e ending in modern Italian doesn't reliably indicate gender, making this essentially a historical exception that must be learned individually.
