Azure supports data classification for databases when you enable Advanced Threat Protection. This will incur a small charge. Data classification can also be applied to database fields within the advanced data security function of Azure. Click on the Data Discovery and Classification and then on the Classification tab. You may find there are already recommendations for your database fields. You can select a table, then a column, and then you can assign an information type to the column plus a Sensitivity, which will be one of your existing labels. You can then add the classification. It looks like the default classification labels are applied on the fields by data type. That is, the financial classification is applied to fields that are of the money data type.
