Bindable Picker's Title not working

Question

I'm working on a Xamarin project and I need to use a picker, so Xamarin's native picker do not have ItemsSource. I've found an implementation that works almost fine, here is:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Linq;
using Xamarin.Forms;

namespace AnyNameSpace.Mobile.CustomControls
{
   public class BindablePicker : Picker
   {
       public static readonly BindableProperty ItemsSourceProperty =
             BindableProperty.Create( 
                                    "ItemSource",
                                    typeof (IEnumerable),
                                    typeof (BindablePicker), 
                                    default(IEnumerable), 
                                    BindingMode.TwoWay,
                                    propertyChanged: OnItemsSourceChanged);

        public static BindableProperty SelectedItemBindableProperty =
              BindableProperty.Create(
                                    "SelectedItemBindable",
                                    typeof (object),
                                    typeof (BindablePicker),
                                    default(object),
                                    BindingMode.TwoWay,
                                    propertyChanged: OnSelectedItemChanged);

        public IEnumerable ItemsSource
        {
            get { return (IEnumerable) GetValue(ItemsSourceProperty); }
            set { SetValue(ItemsSourceProperty, value); }
        }

        public object SelectedItemBindable
        {
            get { return GetValue(SelectedItemBindableProperty); }
            set { SetValue(SelectedItemBindableProperty, value); }
        }

        public BindablePicker()
        {
            SelectedIndexChanged += OnSelectedIndexChanged;
            base.Title = "Seleccione"; // Here I want a custom title, but this is ignoring me :(
        }

        private static void OnItemsSourceChanged(BindableObject bindable, object oldvalue, object newvalue)
        {
            var picker = bindable as BindablePicker;
            if (picker?.Items == null) return;
            picker.Items.Clear();
            if (newvalue == null) return;
            foreach (var item in ((IEnumerable)newvalue).Cast<object>().Where(item => item != null))
                picker.Items.Add(item.ToString());
        }

        private void OnSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
        {
            if (Items != null && (SelectedIndex < 0 || SelectedIndex > Items.Count - 1))
                SelectedItemBindable = null;
            else if (Items != null) SelectedItemBindable = Items[SelectedIndex];
        }

        private static void OnSelectedItemChanged(BindableObject bindable, object oldvalue, object newvalue)
        {
            var picker = bindable as BindablePicker;
            if (newvalue == null) return;
            if (picker?.Items != null) picker.SelectedIndex = picker.Items.IndexOf(newvalue.ToString());
        }
    }
}

So the problem is: When a set the Title property on XAML or even in C# It always says in Title property "Choose an item" I've tried to set Picker's Title in constructor but do not work.

I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

Setting the Title-Property through Xaml or Code works fine. I just tested this in a small project.
