Solution with SoLabel works , Thanks.

Bellow I have added monotouch version:

    public class UICustomLabel : UILabel
{
    private UITextVerticalAlignment _textVerticalAlignment;

    public UICustomLabel()
    {
        TextVerticalAlignment = UITextVerticalAlignment.Top;
    }

    public UITextVerticalAlignment TextVerticalAlignment
    {
        get
        {
            return _textVerticalAlignment;
        }
        set
        {
            _textVerticalAlignment = value;
            SetNeedsDisplay();
        }
    }

    public override void DrawText(RectangleF rect)
    {
        var bound = TextRectForBounds(rect, Lines);
        base.DrawText(bound);
    }

    public override RectangleF TextRectForBounds(RectangleF bounds, int numberOfLines)
    {
        var rect = base.TextRectForBounds(bounds, numberOfLines);
        RectangleF resultRect;
        switch (TextVerticalAlignment)
        {
            case UITextVerticalAlignment.Top:
                resultRect = new RectangleF(bounds.X, bounds.Y, rect.Size.Width, rect.Size.Height);
                break;
            case UITextVerticalAlignment.Middle:
                resultRect = new RectangleF(bounds.X,
                                            bounds.Y + (bounds.Size.Height - rect.Size.Height)/2,
                                            rect.Size.Width, rect.Size.Height);
                break;
            case UITextVerticalAlignment.Bottom:
                resultRect = new RectangleF(bounds.X,
                                            bounds.Y + (bounds.Size.Height - rect.Size.Height),
                                            rect.Size.Width, rect.Size.Height);
                break;

            default:
                resultRect = bounds;
                break;
        }

        return resultRect;
    }
}

public enum UITextVerticalAlignment
{
    Top = 0, // default
    Middle,
    Bottom
}
