rowspan and vertical alignment with iText

I have a method to add new formatted cell in a PDFTable. Everything works well except when I have a cell that takes two rows and then try to set a vertical alignment. It doesn't span the two rows, it only show the text in the top row. Any idea?

The method is:

public static void addFormattedCell(PdfPTable table, BaseColor color, Font font, String text, Integer alignment, Integer vAlignment, Integer colspan, Integer rowspan, Integer border) {

    PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(text, font));

    cell.setColspan(colspan);

    cell.setRowspan(rowspan);

    cell.setHorizontalAlignment(alignment);

    cell.setVerticalAlignment(vAlignment);

    cell.setBorder(border);

    cell.setBackgroundColor(color);

    table.addCell(cell);

}

and the call:

addFormattedCell(table, BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY, paragraphFontHead, "Cert10 - ESP(Cereals)", Element.ALIGN_CENTER, Element.ALIGN_BOTTOM, 6, 2, Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
