You can do it a few ways, The label is seperate from the creation of the actual <select>:

<label>Categoria-pai: @Html.DropDownList(...)</label>

OR

<label for="cboCategoria">Categoria-pai:</label> @Html.DropDownList(...)

OR

@* This assumes you are creating the dropdown from a property named 
   cboCategoria in your Model *@
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.cboCategoria) @Html.DropDownList(...)

EDIT: I did want to note, that if you use the last method, you will want a [Display] attribute on your Model's property.
